1) Really nice to be able to annotate again!
2) Typed annotations should be possible as well.
3) Why can't I use the "eraser" of my surface pen? It would be good if all Windows Ink features were available - comparable to annotating websites in the old Edge.
4) Will we be able to annotate websites again? And add these annotations to our collections?

larsschellhas we are making rather quick progress on this. Support for Surface pen eraser button is now in Canary. Do try. For your last point about adding notes to webpages and send it to Collections, in what scenario would you use it? Would you like parts of annotated web page to go into Collections or save entire webpage to Collections?
- larsschellhasNov 21, 2019Brass ContributorI would say both. I would like to be able to mark parts of a website with my pen and drop them easily into collections, but it would also be nice to be able to annotate on a website just as in a PDF and save these annotations with the real website (not a screenshot of it) to collections. Therefore, you could go back to the website, see your annotations and maybe advance on them.
