Good evening.

After this last updating of Microsoft Edge, the pen icon is missing. I like to save and write on my Web pages. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Thank you

    Just thought Id share one other thread stating the same concerns.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/write-on-the-web-8743d2bb-c4cf-ae40-2aa2-a88ae96a4a79

    Very very annoying action by ms. I have searched and tried multiple solutions and workarounds both in Edge and other browsers. Lost count of all the extensions I have installed. Nothing seems to work.  Whats up microsoft???  How about some information??

    You apparently don't know what inking was like before. I don't want to take a screenshot and write on it. This is not even close to what we had in Legacy Edge.

    Canary doesn't have inking yet...

    Inking on web captures  was introduced with build 654 or thereabouts, so it's also available in Dev (87.0.654.0 >). You may have to enable the edge://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features flag to make it work:

    Enjoy!

    [EDIT a few moments later:]

    Sorry, forgot to mention that Ctrl-Shift-S invokes the capture tool. Once the clip has been made, there's a familiar Add notes pen icon to call up the edit window with Draw and Erase tools.

    here with is the Ms Edge Canary - URL for those wanting ink feature back - uninstall the current Edge - then install this instead

    Canary doesn't have inking yet...

    I, like many, are angry with MS for dumping Edge before a fully functional replacement was available.
