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

    The loss of the pen is reason enough for me to sell my surface go. I really have no function for it now. Microsoft was misadvised.

    I agree. Bring it back! I really miss the selection tool. I used this to copy a frame in a video as a picture. It was great. All I had to do was wait until the video got to the place I wanted then clicked the selection tool. The video then automatically paused so I could then select it's window. This kept me from having to pause the video & then copy the frame with a big Play arrow in the middle of it, blocking 1/2 of what I needed. For god sake Microsoft, bring it back!!!

    WAIT, you did away with the #1 thing that made me use Edge over Google? WHY? That was one of the best feature. I do love some of the updates, but what gives Edge the edge over Google now?  I have been racking my brain to figure out where this stupid pen icon went to . I'm so glad that I found these comments finally . I loved and relied heavily on that pen icon . I'm just not sure if edge is worth continuing over Google Now . Sigh. Bring this feature back, please. 

    I too completely agree with @KristinNitz1 . Please bring back inking in the new chromium based Edge. Believe me this browser has the capacity to dethrone Chrome and overthrow it...

    Ditto. It was a great feature and the only reason for migrating to Edge.

    Hi Hilda,

    I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 3 year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

    The newest version of Microsoft Edge does not have inking capability. Can you please check the update history to see if you had an update for Edge?

    Thanks for your helpful reply, dear Sumit.

    I do agree with the people who would highly appreciate to get this functionality back.

    What ist technically the right thing to do. Where can I find this tool, where you type in feature requestst and can upvote requests from other users?

    Haven't used that for years, but I really liked it.

    Kind regards, Sabine
