To see the documentation for Microsoft Edge version 77 or later, go to the [Microsoft Edge documentation landing page](https://docs.microsoft.com/DeployEdge/). By default, the “browser” group syncs automatically between the user’s devices, letting users make changes. The “browser” group uses the Sync your Settings option in Settings to sync information like history and favorites. You can configure Microsoft Edge to prevent the “browser” group from syncing and prevent users from turning on the _Sync your Settings_ toggle in Settings. If you want syncing turned off by default but not disabled, select the _Allow users to turn “browser” syncing_ option in the Do not sync browser policy. ## Relevant policies - [Do not sync browser settings](#do-not-sync-browser-settings) - [Prevent users from turning on browser syncing](#prevent-users-from-turning-on-browser-syncing) You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor unless otherwise noted in the policy:       **Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Microsoft Edge\\** ## Configuration options ![Sync browser settings automatically](../images/sync-browser-settings-automatically-sm.png) ![Prevent syncing of browser settings](../images/prevent-syncing-browser-settings-sm.png) ### Verify the configuration To verify the settings: 1.
