Inking on Web Pages - Discussion

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,

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.
