Edge browser does not sync bookmarks in real time

I'm using the latest available version of Edge (25.10586.0.0) in Windows 10 on my devices like the main work pc, my Win10 tablet and a Microsoft Lumia 950 phone. When I bookmark a website or add it to the reading list in the Edge browseron my main pc, it does not appear in the corresponding list on the other devices in a reasonable amount of time. It may take several hours when I see the new bookmark there!

Is it the expected behavior, or am I doing something wrong? Sure, I have the Sync your content option in Edge and the OS turned on. Is there a way I can initialize this syncing manually if I need it urgently?

Yes, this is the expecting behavior, and no... you are not doing anything wrong.

I've been doing some research on my own... For me the average time for synchronization is about 2-7 minutes. However, some of the outliers were up to 20 minutes.
