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.

    Uummm, I agree but I'm just a casual user like you. Not a programmer. I don't work for Microsoft. Just trying to help.

    All the Web Note functions are still available through the Snip & Sketch tool and through the Window Ink Workspace Full Screen Snip tool. In fact, they might even be better than before. 

    Snip & Sketch can be activated from the Start menu or by "Win Logo Key + Shift + S". This is very useful because anything snipped goes straight to the clipboard. 

    For me, Windows Ink Workspace is located on the Task Bar as show below. 

    I hope this helps.

    I understand your response, but this not at all what the previous 'Add note' feature we had in Edge at the top right of the ribbon. I want to draw on the ACTIVE web page that I am in while browsing while screen sharing during a call, not on a screen copy ! PLEASE REACTIVATE THIS FEATURE !!!

    This is not the same as being able to write directly on the page.  I am very disappointed.  The web note function was my favorite.

    Thanks for your re-enforcement. I am sure you understand my inquiry.

    Hi Asuka,

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

    If you mean Notes on a webpage, collections feature is rolling out soon to stable, that helps you in adding notes.

    If you are looking for PDF Inking, it is still in consideration AFAIK.

    The missing function has been discussed for months, during the dev version already (see the following link). Please resume this function asap.
