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

    If you are referring to the "web capture" function (ctrl-shift-s), Im sorry to say that this funcion is not anywhere near what originally was integrated in Edge.

    To do screenshots of a webpage and draw on it can be done in Chrome as well with an extension.

    We want the possibility of taking notes directly onto LIVE webpages and saving them!

    This is very disappointing. I will go back to use chrome. Microsoft is moving backward for some crazy reason. Inking on the web feature was a really great one that for somereason they removed it.

    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. 

    Edge consumes less memory compared to Chrome, and is faster than chrome, and now provides all the features that Chrome does ( as it is now powered by the same chromium project that chrome is), along with better tracking prevention, ad block.

    Edge also provides many privacy features that aren't available on any version of Chrome.

    Overall, edge>>>>>chrome in terms of privacy, speed, resource hogging.

    Even Bing is better than the google search engine.

    Atleast it doesn't track every little thing you do

    The pen feature is being discussed on, and will be brought back soon

    There is no pen, ergo no tip to click.

    What? Really and truly done away with the only reason why I use Edge on my Surface Pro? Who on earth thought that would be a great idea? no reason to use Edge now. Back to Chrome I'll be going. Let me know when someone  get their sense back and give us back website writing.

    Cheers!
