Hi @John Pappas

You can configure favorites through GPO, but you can only have one top-level managed favorites folder.

You can configure favorites using this GPO ManagedFavorites. You need to Enable this policy and put the json data in the Options value. In the json data, we can only have one toplevel_name which is the top-level folder. The closest solution is to have two sub folders under the top-level managed favorites folder. To do this, you can set the json data like below:

[{"children": [{"name": "Microsoft Edge Insiders", "url": "www.microsoftedgeinsider.com"}, {"name": "Microsoft Edge", "url": "www.microsoft.com/windows/microsoft-edge"}], "name": "Microsoft Edge links"},{"children": [{"name": "Microsoft", "url": "www.microsoft.com"}, {"name": "Bing", "url": "www.bing.com"}], "name": "Microsoft"}]  

The result is like this:
