Inking on Web Pages - Discussion
Elliot Kirk For me the obvious answer is: collections.
Collections is a killer feature. All kinds of different stuff pertaining to one subject, websites, notes, images, all in one place, and indeed the place you probably want them to be: the browser.
Now, there's a 99.9% chance that, at some point, the relevant thing you need from a website in the collection is just a tiny bit of it, and you want to have a note there to remind you why and how this bit is relevant. Bound to happen. Obvious solution: inking.
- Collections sync only syncs the links to the contents, not the actual contents.
so if they go offline, get deleted, become unavailable for whatever reason on the website you took them from, then you will lose your collection item as well.
it's not like Windows sticky notes or OneNote where you actually upload the content you find on the web, in Collections only the link of the contents get saved and synced between multiple devices.HotCakeX yes, but detail. You can also save images and notes in collections, so the inked page could be saved as a web note in the collection, with the annotated screenshot, plus the link to the actual page.

You mean now? or possibly in future?
right now in Collections there is only options to add texts
I even tried pasting a picture from clipboard in there but nothing happened
Collections
We would need something like this
Sticky Notes app
but that would mean Microsoft needs to dedicated so much cloud space to everyone in the world so they can upload their picture and stuff in there for free, unless they link it to user's OneDrive storage.

Once again, we go back to a want expressed for Inking or Add notes to actually be in the browser, as it is, already, with Edge HTML. And have it work hand-in-hand with Share & Collections, too. There is good reason Add notes (Inking) & Share icons are on the toolbar side-by-side in Edge HTML.

I'm going to be bold enough to sum this all up with the Readers' Digest, nutshell version...
There is no sound argument or valid justification for Inking (Add notes) NOT being in the browser itself. And people use it & want it in the browser.
Should add, there are other Edge (toolbar) Features not to be omitted, as well, but, those have been getting repeated ever since April. Ergo, we, including the Team, know what they (all) are, by now.
Cheers,
Drew- Yeah majority want the same web page inking functionality from classic Edge to be shipped to the new one
- And Set Tabs Aside feature + Tab Previews
