Inking on Web Pages - Discussion
LuKePicci
luke et al,
Attaching the term "screenshot" to Add notes & equating it to Snip & Sketch is misleading & or misguided. Add notes lets one capture pieces, parts & portions of a web page. To describe what it does as a "screenshot" is, very the least, far too narrow a perception. What Snip & Sketch can do & how it can be used, absolutely, makes it a completely different animal than the feature (Add notes) embedded in Edge. Both, absolutely have a definite place & role, based on their own merit. Plus, Add notes is something in the browser to use with it. Snip & Sketch is something in the OS to use with it.
They do different things, in different places, for different reasons.
Cheers,
Drew
@K, now we have inking but not highlighting feature... why not? Any controlled feature or is it on TODO list?

We have inking? Did I miss something? How do I enable it?

We have a basic highlighting feature:
Yes, exactly, that's the point! The new Edge notes experience should be something different from the old experience which was (unfortunately) exactly the same as snip & sketch is at the moment. Web notes should be something more then just drawing on top of a screenshot,
Ideally, to achieve something similar to what I expect from "in-browser notes experience" I would save the page as MSHTML and inking it from Word... that's crazy... still I wouldn't get to that annotated page when I visit if I save it outside of Edge, so this definitely need browser integration.
If you intend to bring the old Edge inking as it was I would probably say it is not necessary, OneNote Web Clipper + Snip & Sketch address the same use cases already.

They do different things, in different places, for different reasons.To be honest the only difference between Snip & Sketch and the add notes feature in Edge classic is just 2 things.
- OneNote integration
- adding little sticky notes to the screenshot.
if Microsoft adds those features to the Snip & Sketch app, it won't be necessary anymore to implement add notes into the new Edge insider browser. because Snip & Sketch is universal app that works for all browsers/programs/screens and not limited to only Edge browser and it's also being actively updated through Windows store.
Rather earlier in this discussion I made an important point buried in a rant about phones: it is not acceptable to sell a product with a feature set and then remove parts of that feature set.
However, there's nothing wrong with removing the pen support from the browser if it's moved to the operating system to make it available to the entire platform.

There is still no information about when Edge is going to be forcefully replaced for everyone and cut their access to the classic Edge. so let's not jump to conclusions
- Snip & Sketch can send the result to OneNote via share button, when I need to add notes on a screenshot I share to OneNote and take notes from there. I do this also for Web pages already. This combo is great and no worse then old Edge notes functionality.
