# New Microsoft Edge Group Policies and MDM settings (Preview)

The Microsoft Edge team introduces new Group Policies and MDM Settings for IT administrators to configure Microsoft Edge. The new policies allow you to enable/disabled full-screen mode, printing, favorites bar, saving history. You can also prevent certificate error overrides, and configure New tab page, Home button and startup options, as well as manage extensions.

You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor:<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge\

In addition to the new group policies, we added a couple of new MDM policies to align with the existing group policies.

- **(New MDM)** [Experience/DoNotSyncBrowserSetting](#donotsyncbrowsersetting)
- **(New MDM)** [Browser/AllowWebContentOnNewTabPage](#allowwebcontentonnewtabpage)

We are also deprecating the **Configure Favorites** group policy because ... Use the __ in place of Configure Favorites.
