NEW FEATURE: PDF INKING Improvements - More Colors and Thickness Slider

[HotCakeX]

This looks so good! loving it

previously we only had one single color and it was blue, weren't able to change thickness.

this is on Edge insider Version 81.0.389.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

p.s it could be a controlled feature rollout. so might or might not be available to everyone.

@HotCakeX  Not available for me right now. I hope they add an option to highlight freehand. For me, that was the only thing lacking in Edge legacy's pdf reader.

Works for me.

Try using a VPN (US, UK, etc)
once connected, restart Edge canary twice, wait 5 seconds between each restarts, then you should be seeing this new feature.

and Yes, controlled feature roll outs are in fact based on user's country. i've tested this for months and it's been proven to me 100%.

This is no longer available in Canary Version 82.0.425.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)!
maybe only this build is an exception. we'll see what happens in the next update.
