Configure and manage connected experiences with Edge Connected Feature Control (CFC) – Targeted Release
Microsoft Edge for Business introduces Connected Feature Control (CFC) in Public Preview, allowing admins to centrally manage cloud-powered features based on compliance needs.

Introduction To support organizations with varying compliance and data handling needs, Microsoft Edge for Business is introducing Connected Feature Control (CFC) in Public Preview. CFC is a centralized policy that allows admins to manage cloud-powered and AI-driven features—such as Translate, Compose, and Auto Tab Grouping—based on organizational requirements. When this will happen: Targeted Release: Rollout began in late August 2025 and is expected to complete by late September/October 2025. General Availability: Timelines for GA will be announced after evaluating feedback from the Targeted Release. How this affects your organization: Who is affected: Admins managing Microsoft Edge for Business via the Edge management service. What will happen: A new policy called Connected Feature Control (CFC) will be available in Edge management. By default, CFC is off; no changes will be made to existing feature availability unless admins opt in. Admins can enable or disable specific connected experiences such as Translate, Compose, Screenshot, and Auto Tab Grouping. CFC offers three modes: Off Mode: All connected experiences are enabled by default. Level 1: Enables only experiences that are sensitive content aware. Level 2: Enables only experiences that are sensitive content aware and meet strict data handling standards.
