I can draw on a snip, but it is hard to write a note with a mouse.

Can I add a text box and  type a note on a snip?

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you want to add a text box to type a note on a snip using when using Snip & Sketch. However, I would like to inform that the feature to add a text box is currently not available.

I commend you for noticing this feature not being within Snip & Sketch. We would like to hear your thoughts and suggestions, as there may be other users with a similar requirement. Hence, I would suggest you to post a feedback in Microsoft Feedback Hub so that our developing team can review your suggestions and check if it can be included in the future updates.

Regards,

Nikhar Khare

    2 years on and this very simple feature isn't available? Surely it's a no brainer...

    Microsoft:

    Snip & Sketch is worthless without the ability to add text. However, I can use Paint.

    Please add an alpha channel to the Snip & Sketch text box, so the text background box does not occlude the image.

    You make HoloLens and XBox. Please remember usability of low-level tools.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Please Microsoft, please add text box support to Snip & Sketch.

    Basic function, infinitely useful.
