Where is the Windows Ink feature?  I use/used the ink markup of a web page in the legacy Edge all the time.  I can't find it anywhere in the new Edge.

Hi Kurt,

unfortunately, inking on websites is one of the many features that are not (yet) available in the new edge chromium.

you can make the suggestion to the feedback team, from within edge Alt+Shift+I, the more users that want this feature the more likely that Microsoft will add it.

09/03/2020:

Inking in web pages would be available by end of the September in the Dev/Canary branches of Microsoft Edge. Expect more information about the stable release in the future.

    It is my understanding the feature is currently removed from Edge Browser. Send feedback and let the Software Developers know what you want.

    Hi, Kurt, 

    Have you looked at Settings > System > Pen & Windows Ink

    Did you Install it?

    In Cortana Search type Tips

    Tip 4 gives you the option to Open Windows Ink Workspace

    Click on That

    You'll see Whiteboard and Snip appear above taskbar icons on right

    Click on Whiteboard to install it

    @SmittyChat, that only works for the little snip you can get of your screen, which is far, far, far from being able to annotate a web page, most of which are many screens tall. 

    I think it's ironic that MS built this for PDF before web pages: Adobe's free Reader already includes the ability to annotate PDF files. We have no alternative for web pages. This makes Windows 10 less useful, especially for Microsoft's own Surface hardware customers, because they use pens and Inking more than most other users.
