Recently upgraded to the new chromium version of Edge.

The pen & ink settings aren't the same as the last version.

Not able to change the pen color, pen size, select pencil or highlighter if I open a pdf file in edge & try to write on it.

What happened to the choices?

Are there settings to change them?

Do I have to do a screen shot first?

Used to be able to write in real time on an open pdf file.

    hey..... I guess... they do read these questions and our worries!!! cause now I have colours and I can even change the thickness of the pen!!!!! I didn't go back to the previous version.... but today... I see that there is this drop-down box and there were colours. 

    I just hope... now I can directly save the same file as before. Now it asks for the file... to save it separately... being a student I prefer my notes all in one place... I don't want multiple copies of same. One which I used to draw (make my notes) and another where no changes!!! I hope Microsoft can look into it!!!

    Hi Everyone,

    So i'm deciding whether to switch to the new Edge.

    However, the inking capabilities I had in Old Edge are absolutely essential, so need the same features and granularity.

    Is it worth switching?

    about a week ago I've send a feedback about not being able to use colours and surprisingly after couple of days I've got notifications for updates and then guess what .. colours. I'm not sure if it's because of the feedback or just a coincidence.

    I managed to go back to the old version as the new version was missing all the things I needed. I will wait until they realise that highlighters and pens are pretty important when using it as a teacher and update it/

    I am running Edge Version 83.0.478.37 and it says it is up to date. Just checked to see if the pen drawing tools are still there, and they are. I am not running any Insider or preview version of Edge either.
