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

    Thank you for that clear answer, Sumit. That's a super way to keep on track.

    The rason I need this functionality is not so much the annotation function, but morge the "screenshot full page"...

    I'm asking myself if this part functionality has been hidden somewhere else? :)

    Does anyone here know about that?

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Kind regards,

    Sabine

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

    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...

    I totally agree with Kristin. I only had Edge installed on  my computer because the Pen Tool and now it is gone. 

    I'm back to Chrome with the Web Paint extension to have a tool to write on the screen. 

    (Now, how stupid can a developer be to discontinue the one feature everyone was crazy about? )
