Description

Allows users to import browser settings from another browser into Microsoft Edge.

If you enable this policy, the **Browser settings** check box is automatically selected in the **Import browser data** dialog box.

If you disable this policy, browser settings aren't imported at first run, and users can't import them manually.

If you don't configure this policy, browser settings are imported at first run, and users can choose whether to import them manually during later browsing sessions.

You can also set this policy as a recommendation. This option means that Microsoft Edge imports the settings on first run, but users can select or clear the **browser settings** option during manual import.

**Note**: This policy currently manages importing Google Chrome (on Windows 7, 8, and 10 and on macOS).
