I work as IT developer and at free time I'm Photograph amateur.

I'm using a large tablet (wacom 16") ; I use stylus intensively.

 

Before edge's webnotes I do the same with OneNote (print the webpage to oneNote as 'background picture' and then annotate with stylus under OneNote.)

It's a smart bookmark system ; the link + the visual 'personal' info

 

I use it 

-in all web activities, if I want to comment the page, I use it instead ink capture/save as picture ; the advantage vs screen capture /ink is the vertical scroll and annotation capabilities over the complete page + save & share.

 

-at webapp documentation, I use it to annotate the webpage with handwriting notes ; handwriting over 'computer' information are really good emphasize method.

- in webpage development steps, I use the webnote to notify issue, enhancement, request. and share it to my dev team. 

 

edge'webnotes can be a smart/enhanced bookmark system : the link + personal info.
