Use Edge as command central for Microsoft 365 in the Side Bar

Edge can be used as a kind of command central for working with the Microsoft 365 office suite, whether you’ve got a personal or a business version. Go to the Edge sidebar, as described in the previous article, and click the six-sided multicolored icon. The Microsoft 365 pane appears. 


 

 

The pane has icons for all of your Microsoft 365 applications, including Word, Excel, Teams, OneDrive, OneNote, and more. Click any icon to open the web version of that app in the main Edge window. It also shows files you’ve recently opened. Click any to open it in the main Edge window. You can filter the list of files by individual application, if you’d like.

 To see only Word files, for example, click the Word icon underneath the “Recent” heading. 



Note that the files you see in the Microsoft 365 pane depend on which profile you’re logged into in Edge. If you’re logged in with your work profile, you’ll see the Microsoft 365 files you’ve been working on in your business version of M365
