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.

    Snip & Sketch is NOT what the old Add note was capable on a browser page, which was just to scribble where you where without having to save the page. Actually my use case is to be able to highlight anything on my screen using my pen while I am sharing my screen during meetings.

    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.

    That is NOT fast enough to use windows Ink Workspace  or Snip & Sketch because both of them need to save as a file beforehand. The "add notes" can write what you want and simply crop the area you needed, then you can paste to anywhere. 

    "add notes" is the most lovely function I loved. I am regret to update to be New Edge.

    As a Special Education teacher the add note feature was helpful to students. Is there a plan to put this feature back in

    I don't know Chrome, but I assume you have to use an extension to clip to OneNote. I do just the same in Edge:

    I agree with you, I like the add notes function. I have no idea why it is removed.
