Can someone explain to me what the order of operations, as it were, is for syncing bookmarks with Edge?

I have a desktop with my major bookmarks used daily.

I install Edge on my laptop, I tell it to sync.
I then go to my other laptop that has a prior version of bookmarks and sync.... boom. All the bookmarks messed up across all terminals. Can't I tell all my devices to ONLY use the bookmarks from one specific installation? I keep going back to my desktop and seeing the copies of the duplicates of the duplicates of bookmarks bouncing back and forth. Then I get them all clean again on the desktop and it happens again!

What is this vicious loop I'm stuck in and how do I get out of it? To be fair, syncing has always been confusing to me since I stopped using xmarks years ago.
