How to Show or Hide Tab Action Menu in Microsoft Edge Toolbar

Starting with Microsoft Edge Canary build 91.0.864.1, the company is testing a new Tab Action Menu that appears when you click the “Vertical Tabs” button.

When you make a click on the Tab action menu button on the toolbar (available on the upper left corner), a menu opens up showing you options to Turn on Vertical Tabs, Recently Closed Tabs, and Add all tabs to a new collection. Earlier, clicking the same button only lets users enter or exit Vertical tabs.
