OneNote extension?
Nancy Jatcko & Elliot Kirk did that functionality ever make it to the legacy Edge? I know it existed in IE as a right click option on a page and then "Send to OneNote" which was very useful. Looked for this on legacy Edge and couldn't find it, did the same in Chromium Edge and it isn't their either.
An extension exists for legacy Edge that is a snipping tool, or you can install an app that from the app store that locates itself in the "Share to..." destination but these look like shortcuts to print the page rather than the more advanced functionality available in the Send to OneNote we had in IE

Paul Bendall If OneNote is installed on Windows 10 then you should have an option to use the Share icon in legacy Edge and send information to OneNote via that functioonality.

Richard Hay - True; but the functionality isn't the same as it was in IE which, in my opinion, is the best experience. However, it isn't available in Chromium Edge nor for full OneNote 2016, all you can do is Print to OneNote which is an image, doesn't carry across the article title, etc.

Paul Bendall Yeah I am anxiously awaiting that Share option to land in Edge Chromium myself. I am a pure OneNote for Windows 10 user (UWP app) so the Share icon drops in the title of the title of the article linked and its summary/content.
I then copy out the linked article title for my Show Notes for the Observed Tech PODCAST and then subsequently use that to build out my entire Show Notes blog post. Saves a lot of time and steps.
Of course, each of us tends to have our own unique workflows with all of this stuff. I have tried the OneNote Clipper - it just doesn't give me rich content on the OneNote side to make it useful IMHO.
Hope it all gets sorted and made available to not lose that past functionality we have grown used to.
