Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
Allows Microsoft Edge to display links recently shared by or shared with the user from Microsoft 365 apps in History. If you enable or don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge displays links recently shared by or shared with the user from Microsoft 365 apps in History. If you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge does not display links recently shared by or shared with the user from Microsoft 365 apps in History. The control in Microsoft Edge settings is disabled and set to off. This policy only applies for Microsoft Edge local user profiles and profiles signed in using Azure Active Directory.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: SharedLinksEnabled
Enabled: SharedLinksEnabled = 1
Disabled: SharedLinksEnabled = 0
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
