Inking on Web Pages - Discussion
Elliot Kirk This feature was a selling point when it released, and made Edge unique. I personally don't understand how difficult it must be to just add it back considering it worked so well in the previous versions. Id personally like to see it as a setting, have it automatically turned off in the settings and let people toggle it on if they want it. I feel like the customization aspect is a win win for everyone.
I used it a lot, as an art student and for personal research. Id doodle on Bing images, highlight and underline articles, sketch on the borders of webpages. Legitimately any time I wanted to mark something up or even had a thought, its became useful.
Saving pages as a PDF just to use a pen tool is understandably more confusing and time consuming.

HotCakeX I see that they updated the forum to planned in September, but I'm still reluctant to believe it. The only coverage I've seen the last few days is about a Web Capture w/ possible ink annotation. The purpose of this discussion seems to be to bring Web Inking back to the Edge browser, not to capture a screenshot and scribe on another app; I hope these are separate.
- HotCakeXSep 06, 2020MVPweb inking in Edge legacy was also about taking a screenshot of web contents.
