How To Show or Hide Workspaces on the Title Bar in Microsoft Edge

Edge Workspaces is an awesome productivity feature. Here’s how to show or hide the Workspaces icon from the title bar in Microsoft Edge.

In the recent version of the Edge browser, Microsoft added a new productivity feature called Workspaces. It lets you organize all your tabs into specific spaces, making them easier to manage. For example, you can create separate workspaces for work and personal use. The best thing is, when you open a workspace, it opens in a completely new window in the same profile. Moreover, you share a workspace so others can see all the tabs in it. By default, the Workspaces feature is enabled, and you see its icon in the top left of the Edge window.

While this is a killer feature with obvious benefits, if you are not using it, the icon is just a wasted space. Thankfully, you can easily remove or hide the Workspaces icon on the Edge title bar if you don’t use this feature. Of course, you can just as easily show the Workspaces icon when needed. In this quick and easy guide, I will show you how to hide or remove the Workspaces icon, or show it, in Microsoft Edge. Let’s get started.
