It's December 23, 2021. My edge does not have this ability. Is it available yet in any way?

RichJ101 we have a new feature in Edge named "Web capture" which provides the functionality to take full-page as well as scrolling selection screenshots and annotate them using ink. Have you given it a try?

    I have - it doesn't do much more than any screen capture would do.  I don't want to have to keep an extra index of files for the web pages I've marked up.  and the tool doesn't even have text note capability.

    I have tried web capture and at first glance it looked promising, but the integration to onenote or onenote 10-app is mediocre. It is possible to share to Onenote, but only to one or two notebooks and it is not possible to select notebook page. When shared to Onenote it is shared as a small single picture with limited resolution. This page for instance is bare readable if shared to onenote, even when zoomed in to 500% which is the maximum.

     

    It is apparent that Microsoft has done the minimum amount of work necessary so that they can tick of a feature list. Not the real work that is necessary to use the feature. Sadly this has become the "new Microsoft"
