Endpoint Data Loss Protection (DLP) public preview now available—Microsoft Edge is the only browser that natively supports Microsoft Endpoint DLP and eliminates the need to install, maintain and upgrade additional data loss prevention software for the browser. As more work shifts to cloud-powered applications accessed via the browser, having the right data protection and governance approach is critical. Microsoft Endpoint DLP not only addresses regulation and privacy, but also mitigates data leakage and risk when using Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 devices. With native support in Microsoft Edge, customers can easily extend their control over sensitive data when accessing information via the browser. Starting on July 21, Microsoft Endpoint DLP will be available for public preview and we encourage customers to try it before general availability. Learn more

Features and updates

Easily switch between work and life—
Here’s a work from home situation you’re probably familiar with. You’ve kept your browsing separate with both a work and personal profile, but when you’re using your personal profile a coworker pings you with a work link. You try to open it, but instead of using your work profile, the link tries to open in your personal profile (where your work credentials are not saved). With Automatic Profile Switching, Microsoft Edge opens the link in the correct profile saving you the time and hassle of re-entering credentials. If you try to access a work link while browsing in your personal profile—or vice versa—Microsoft Edge will prompt you to switch profiles before opening it. Links that need work credentials open in your work profile, and links that need personal credentials open in your personal profile—it’s that simple and is available now. To enable, go into “Multiple profile preferences” in your Profile settings.

Listen to PDF files and make edits easier—The web is for everyone, and for some, listening can be easier than reading. Read Aloud for PDF not only supports auditory learners, but also frees up users to listen to PDF content while carrying out other tasks. We’ve also improved PDF file editing. Users can now save edits back to the working PDF file instead of needing to save a new copy each time they make an edit. This feature is now
