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'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.

    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.

    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.

    This is such a silly misstep by Microsoft. Being able to markup Web pages was a great and useful feature
