Inking on Web Pages - Discussion
Elliot Kirk This is definitely a must, I'm full touch and pen oriented since years ago so I really want this. However I never really liked the previous Edge implementation. I make heavy use of OneNote and what I would simply like is to get some webpages opened inside OneNote Tabs (much like IE tabs), where everything about inking is done the way of OneNote. That inked or annotated page should be available as well in OneNote app and whenever I reopen that same webpage in Edge I should get the ability to see my inked and annotated version and continue working on it. Of course an alert would ask me if to stay on that page snapshot or download an updated version of the page.
OneNote Web clipper is out of scope here, it is for different purposes.
Some of my use cases:
- inking in community threads to mark/highlight issues as solved/noted
- inking in software documentation pages I maintain to highlight what needs to be improved/fixed/updated
- inking in websites I develop to better describe UI related requirements, user stories or defects (it would be awesome to attach the sketch to my work items)
- inking on wikipedia pages, newspapers, scientific articles I study
I marked up a page and sent it to OneNote, and it was basically an image. If the thing is just grabbing a screenshot for you to mark up and then saving it, by all means OneNote should handle it and it can't be that hard to recreate. LuKePicci

Did someone say it's hard or they are not going to do it?

Well, you would think not... seriously & in all fairness, it is, already, that way in Edge. Just another thing that MUST BE kept!
Cheers,
Drew- That is exactly what I don't like. I don't want the webpage to transform into a screenshot, I would like to keep it interactive as usual such that I can still click stuff, fill forms, scroll, and so on. If a screenshot is enough I use snip & sketch to do this.
