I would like to add bookmarks to Microsoft Edge, not by importing from IE but simply by dumping the bookmarks in the Edge bookmark folder.
This was possible in the Spartan builds and I think it was possible when edge was launched. I think the path used to be –
C:\Users\Duncan\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\Favorites
I have tried dumping the bookmarks in this folder and restarting my system but they haven't shown up in Edge. I am wondering if the folder has changed since Windows 10 Fall Update as Edge bookmark synchronisation was introduced in this latest Windows 10 update.
How do I manually add bookmarks or folders of bookmarks to favourites in Edge?

According to the source below there is an extra step required (deleting a value
FavOrder
from the registry, see steps 6 and 7).Presumably deleting
FavOrder
causes Edge to rescan the favourites.How To: Get Your Browser Favorites into Microsoft Edge When the Import Fails in Windows 10
