Tracking new features in the Microsoft Edge Insider channels is a bit of a hit-and-miss experience, but the company is making it easier to keep up with what’s new on the docket for Canary users. The Edge Insider team has launched a What’s New page in the Canary channel that details all the new features and more on the New Tab page.

As noted by Missy Quarry, a community manager for Microsoft Edge Insiders, the page includes the build number along with a weekly round-up of all the latest announcements. It also gives an insight into the new features, recent blog posts, top forum posts, and more.

In addition to the new features and blog posts, the page lists a couple of known issues that are reported by Edge Insiders. There is also an Insider Spotlight section that highlights people currently making an impact in the community.

The Microsoft Edge Insider Channels are preview channels for the new Microsoft Edge browser. The Canary and Dev channels get new updates daily and weekly, respectively, and the Beta channel receives major updates every four weeks. This means that the company is constantly adding new features to these channels, and keeping track of new features can be a bit of a hassle for some users.

The What’s new page is a welcome change for Edge users running the Canary branch of Microsoft Edge, and it’s already available in the Dev channel. Going forward, it will likely help to keep users informed about all the latest changes in the browser. Have you spotted the What’s new page on your PCs? Let us know in the comments down below.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
