Starting with latest version of Microsoft Edge in Canary and Dev channel, the company added a button in Appearance settings of the browser using which users can Pin History Tab to Edge Toolbar.
With the addition of the “Show history button” in the Customize toolbar section of the Edge browser, it will become easier for the users to access the History panel right from the toolbar available on the left side.
Show history button is added into the latest version of Edge Canary and Edge Dev under Controlled Rollout, so it is possible that only few peoples will see this setting in the Customize toolbar section.
