"Add note" on new edge browser

is there any schedule on returning "add note" function to the new Edge browser? This function was the core and unique feature of the original Edge, absent from all other competitors. It worked perfectly on my Surface Pro 4. The lack of it in the new Edge makes it ordinary and indifferent, just like Nokia/Blackberry switching to Android system.

Please make this function return again very soon. otherwise, the market share of Edge will deplete even further.

    Unfortunately, there's not option available for add classic note feature in Microsoft Edge Chromium, but in the meantime, you can create not using Collections feature.

    In case, you don't how to do that, then check out this blog post -

    I was just going to switch to your browser from Chrome because of how easy it was to create notes and send them to One Note. Not seeing this in a new version is a huge disappointment. Sending to one note using the snip and sketch is not user friendly and it doesn't let you choose the right notepad. ...back to chrome.

    Yeah, I am not a fan of this new browser. The "add notes" feature from the last version and it's easy access was my favorite thing about Edge. When reading a pdf, it would also have a feature to look at the table of contents and click on a chapter and it'd bring me there. This new update reminds me too much of chrome and it's sickening. The only thing that's left is being able to write on pdfs with ONE color, ONE size, no highlighter option....I don't understand why they would take all these features out.

    Hi, I was very disappointed when I couldn't find this option too.

    However, I just noticed that you can still draw and add notes on pdfs and probably ONLY pdfs sadly. (if this helps you even a little)

    I want that add note option back for all websites too :( hopefully they'll update it soon.
