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.

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.
The latest version of Edge has bought back pen support as far as I can tell on my PC. Pen colors and size has been added back, but there are still no highlighter or pencil options.
What are you talking about? Do you even have the latest version? I recently upgraded to the new and supposedly improved Microsoft Edge and it's missing the Pen button at the top of the browser that always goes next to where the web address would be typed and I looked through the Settings as well and I absolutely positively cannot find the Drawing tools anymore. I've used the drawing tools for several videos of mine I uploaded to show screenshots I took and to point out something specific. Now I can't unless I take a screenshot and go through the longer process of going on Photoshop to make these changes.
I'm on the new Edge browser and can't even find the button that used to be at the top of the browser that allowed you to draw on screen. I mean it's the main reason I even use Edge to begin with because I like highlighting and circling things on screen this way instead of taking the screenshot and then adding the circles and highlights in Photoshop.
when??????
Indeed still waiting for the highlight function to return, a must have for students! I specifically bought the Microsoft Go with the pen for more than 90 euro to be able to highlight and edit pdf's in different locations and settings. Which, now with the update, is not possible to do so.
