Inking the Web
Hey friends!
I enjoy this new version of Edge, it is quite great, but I think I'm missing out on something, or you guys have forgotten a big thing: Inking on the Web! I remember those Microsoft ads which are like "I can draw on the web!" So where is this feature in the beta version? Because Windows is getting so tablet orientated I think this feature should be out there, or at least easy to find.

Elliot,
As per our recent conversation(s), please, DO take note of this person's note in the same context.
Yes, 'PB', this is seemingly missing which, is not cool or acceptable. As you have gathered, the subject has, already, been raised; including that it MUST be in Edge, any Edge. And MANY in addition to yourself are voicing the same.
I'm adding something I said a while ago. Edge/We must have Add notes AND Share together! They go together, work together, Add notes gives one things to Share, BTW!
Cheers,
Drew
PolarBear12342 Me too, I love this feature very much and use it every day in the old Edge. And this is a top advantage of Microsoft Edge!

Hi PolarBear12342, thank you for your feedback. We have received quite a bit of feedback on the need for marking up web pages, but less than for inking for PDFs. Inking for PDFs has consistently been one of our top asked for changes, and is currently available in all Insider channels. We are investigating the ability to mark up web pages, and it has just bubbled up to become one of our top pieces of feedback. Hopefully, we will be able to share our thinking soon. Thanks - Elliot
- That's great news, thanks!
for me both PDF and Webpage Inking are equally important. I know other people personally who share the same thoughts.HotCakeX Elliot Kirk The inking for PDF was a huge help for me this year. I recently bought a house and used Edge to fill out and sign over half of the documents required. My realtor got curious about it so I showed it to him.
I just tried this feature a few minutes ago and the inking feels smoother so far. A different pen color option will be nice.

Elliot, it is not a matter of having to ask for things. It is a matter of keeping Edge features & abilities, period. It'll will not gain users if, certain features like Add notes are omitted! Will only make people mad & go elsewhere if Edge features are missing! You know yourself how many people we see/have seen mentioning Set aside, Add notes and a proper Share which, belongs on the toolbar, btw!
The Team needs to stop dropping the ball before mid-January! They are doing heaps of good things, but, leaving out star Edge features & tools is not OK.
Cheers,

I agree PolarBear12342. I use this feature a lot, not just for personal projects, but mostly for work. The web clipping has been my go to screen grabber since it is very convenient, then I can just write the notes I want or draw the edits that need to be done.
