As of this release, Collections are now closely integrated with Pinterest, offering suggestions from the service for your Collections. You can also export your collections to Pinterest. There's also now the ability to sort your collections by name.
Here's a full look at all of what's new and fixed in the latest Edge Dev build:
- Added the ability to use a pen to highlight PDFs.
