Introducing web capture for Microsoft Edge

Since the release of the new Microsoft Edge, we have heard a lot of feedback about missing the web notes tool that allowed you to capture and mark up content across the web. Frankly, we’ve missed it ...

Glad to see web capture coming back. When you implement mark-ups and highlighting, please include the ability to lock the cursor horizontally or vertically. To be able to highlight a line of text  with a neat straight line is needed.  If anyone can draw a straight line with a mouse using the Snipping tool my hat is off to them.

very true.

 

Snip & Sketch app solved this by adding a ruler so I can use the inking tool to draw a straight horizontal or vertical line (using mouse scroll i can spin the ruler)

so I think Edge team needs to add the same features from Snip & sketch to web capture

 

 

Plus, adding the ability to actually Type on the web captures.
