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 Do you enable it from somewhere? because i dont have it in canary. i also dont have any settings related to pen.
- It's controlled feature rollout, only available to a subset of Canary users
Did you get the feature? If yes, then what differences do you see between the Legacy Edge Web Notes and Chromium Edge's inking feature? Is it for now seeming to be better or worse than the Legacy ones?
Does this feature work correctly as expected on your computer? Eager for your reply.
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.
- web inking in Edge legacy was also about taking a screenshot of web contents.
Awesome, how do I get hold of it?
