Keep Edge Up to Date

Ok, allow me to clarify... Web Capture is (now) 'more' than it was initially.  And within Edge it actually does more & better than S&S. Web capture has some 'controls', but one may not be noticing those icons. First of all, initiating WC, gives 2 buttons, Free Select AND Full Page. Free Select then has Copy OR Add Notes.  Copy is obvious, can then Drop /paste somewhere.  But Add Notes opens up a bunch of possibilities. (See pictures 👇)

Now, Full Page... This is cool... one can move the page and take as much of it as wanted, even, right to the bottom.  And, again, a bunch of possibilities are then available.

Web Capture is available in Canary, Dev & GA and all without a flag. Its button can be turned on in Settings > Appearance

Plus, the neat thing is it's all right within Edge itself.

Thank-You Drew for the information and Images. I had a chance to play with it a little bit, and I also feel this is a Very Cool feature. So basically it works much similar to "Snip & Sketch"

Cheers!

You're welcome & yes, it is very similar, BUT... There is, at least, one definite difference... besides Web capture being within Edge.

And that is Web Capture's Full Screen. It allowing to scroll and actually take the whole page, S&S cannot do.  S&S will do a Window Mode snip, which is a fix image (like a photo) of what it ''sees' at that moment.  Whereas Full Screen moves the page to include ALL of it if wanted AND that is what is seen if & when shared or saved.

Even if Rectangular Mode is used for S&S it is a 'fixed' image taken, like a still photograph.  Web Capture will scroll to the bottom & then take the whole page.

S&S cannot do this 👇

S&S Windows Mode

Hi Drew,

         Thank-You so much for the detailed information on the "Web Capture Feature" it truly is a Very nice and much needed feature. The more I use it, the more I truly enjoy it. I Made this Post just by using the scroll hole page @ https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/preview-kb4598291-os-builds-19041789-and-19042789/ac5dc1fe-f729-4e0a-8dca-0fbf4714eeb2  I use to have to copy what was on my screen and save it to a file, and then scroll down and do it again, and then past each photo together as I was assembling the page to post. But this new feature eliminates all those extra steps 👏👏👏. The only thing I find is I took those clips with the all black background but when you save the pic it is in the White background. No Biggy... but just wondering why 🤔

Cheers

I suggest it is a rendering issue combined with the very differences mentioned. S&S is, to put it in my own words, taking a picture like a camera, a still photo.  Thus, it sees what it sees.

Plus, let's remember, the Dark web pages exists with a flag Enabled, not by default. So, I suggest when WC renders the page into its utility that process, currently, doesn't 'see' the flag.

There's a 'conversion' process with Full Page Web Capture that doesn't exist with S&S.

I'm sure there is a better explain or more correct explanation somewhere.

Based on my 'guess', if it's correct, maybe this will change after Dark pages no longer needs a flag & IS the default.

(And, just to be fair 😉) Here's one YOU can try to explain 🤣
