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

    Terrible - I used the pen all the time and it is one of the reasons I bought another Microsoft computer.  Please bring this feature back to Edge.

    Alright, no worries.

    Part 1:

    1. Open edge://flags
    2. Search for Experimental web platform flag.
    3. Enable the same.
    4. Restart the browser.

    Part 2:

    1. After that, press Ctrl+Shift+S to open web capture.
    2. Capture the part of the screen you want to ink.

    Click Add notes which would allow you to Draw/add notes.

    I followed the steps and there were no options to do the following "Click Add notes which would allow you to Draw/add notes."

    What is the selling point of the new series coming out?

    I would be carefull to take their selling points into consideration. 

    This page on Ms webpage dated Sept 9 2020 clearly misleads people.

    Microsoft got rid of the inking feature on this browser. This was a CRITICAL component in my decision to buy a surface pro 7. They HAVE to bring this feature back. I am a school teacher and I was going to use the inking abilities to help teach virtually!! I am so let down by this decision. Please bring it back.

    I had the pen funcion all the way until I today imported the Chrome bookmarks over to Edge. That was a mistake I understand. Just put my surface 7 out for sales and will stick to my Mac instead.

    Removing the only really usefull feature and the reason I bought the Surface in the first place must be just about the dumbest move ever by MS.
