Is there a roadmap for key features like Set Aside, Reading Mode, Add Notes, etc.
Is there any roadmap for key features like Set Aside, Reading Mode, Add Notes, Share this page, and the ability to show (or not) these in the toolbar?
Yeah, those are all big features for me, too, which keep me using Microsoft Edge.
Agreed. I use my SP4 for class and take notes with the pen and the Add Notes feature. It allows me to quickly review and look up info. I also take notes on articles & other items vs scribbling in a notebook. Unfortunately I did the upgrade not knowing these features were removed. This has thrown off my studying. For now I have to go back to pen & paper or use another app (which is a waste). Please add back these features. aloneguid

MicrosoftGii_is_me -- Sorry for the inconvenience. Team has been monitoring these feedback closely and making a plan to address them.
I wanted to understand if you are missing the ability to take notes on PDF or web pages or may be both?
- PDF, I think they recently added, in a limited fashion, think it has only 1 pen, no highlighter etc.
But inking a web page does not exist at all yet in edge chromium, can't make notes or anything on a web page.- amitkun

Apologies for the delay in response.
Team has taken the feedback and ability to ink and highlight in PDF is available in Beta version of Edge. This should be widely available to all Edge users by end of the month. It also has ability to ink and highlight in multiple different colors.
About adding the capability to web page. That is also in our backlog and the team is figuring out the best way to address it
Hi amitkun - Mainly PDFs but the ability to annotate web articles would be nice. Some books come in PDF format. In Explorer I could highlight, draw & add notes while studying. The PDF book I'm using now has notes frm the old browser but after the upgrade this feature doesn't exist. I use Office products in a similar way, adding comments, highlights & notes for both school & work (thankfully that still exists). For PDFs- if Edge is removing features I will be forced to look at other apps for productivity 😞
