When you open an internet browser in Venn for the first time, your personal browser profile, including history, pinned tabs, bookmarks, and accounts, will not be copied over.

If you have previously used your browser for personal use, you may want to take advantage of the clean slate of your work profile in order to maintain a separation between your personal and work internet usage going forward.

If you have previously used your browser for work, you can:

• Sign in to your existing browser profile
• Or export bookmarks from your personal browser profile, then import them into your new work browser profile
  • Export Bookmarks from Your Browser
    • Google Chrome
    • Microsoft Edge
    • FireFox
    • Safari (macOS only)
  • Import Bookmarks into Venn
    • Google Chrome
    • Microsoft Edge

Sign in to Your Existing Browser Profile

You can sign in to your existing Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge profile in the Blue Border to sync your bookmarks and history if authorized by your company.

Your company may restrict whether or not you can log into your existing Google Chrome or Microsoft profiles. They can also restrict logins to company domains (for example, you may be able to log in with a Google account associated with your company email domain, but not your personal Google account).
