MicrosoftIntroducing web capture for Microsoft Edge
Since the release of the new Microsoft Edge, we have heard a lot of feedback about missing the web notes tool that allowed you to capture and mark up content across the web. Frankly, we’ve missed it ...
I agree - make it part of Snip & Sketch - why reinvent the wheel. The Share is a couple of extra unnecessary steps
There are reasons for that:
Snip & Sketch isn't available on other OSes such as Linux and Mac which are target platforms for the new Microsoft Edge.
Snip & Sketch doesn't support taking screenshot of a web page while scrolling down which is super useful. Snip & Sketch only can take screenshot of that is displayed on the screen.
also if they bring back all the features from Edge legacy, there's gonna be sticky notes and ability to type on capture, none of which are available on Snip & Sketch.
so yeah that's enough reasons to develop this into Edge.

HotCakeX So develop Snip & Sketch for the other OS's and platforms like they are for Edge... perhaps as a feature set of Sticky Notes. Better than having multiple apps. Still waiting on them making sense of all their Task Management apps which are inconsistent at best.
- Sticky notes and Snip & sketch are entirely separate apps, merging them doesn't make sense.
one takes screenshots, the other takes text notes.
it's like saying instead of using notebooks for your class, use a drawing board.
developing this feature into Edge is easier and logical than publishing apps for other OSes. this can count as an advantage for the browser.- Build the functionality into Collections
Build the functionality into Sticky Notes
Build the functionality into the OneNote Web Clipper
Build the functionality into Snip n Sketch
My point is, how many apps does MS need that do almost, but not quite the same thing?
Well, in case people are using Windows 10, it could just call this Snip & Sketch and reuse it.
But for other operating system, use feature as it has been described here.
It would be motivation for users to use Windows 10 too, so they have more options.
