Mark up a web page or PDF file
By Ed Bott
One of the first things most people do with a new Windows 10 installation is to change the default browser from Microsoft Edge to their preferred third-party browser.
But even if you rarely use Microsoft Edge, it's worth keeping it around for one of its most useful tricks: The ability to add notes and highlights to a web page or PDF document, and then save and share the results with a friend or co-worker. This capability works best with a pen-enabled device, of course, but you can get excellent results on any PC, even if it doesn't have a touchscreen.
Open the page you want to annotate in Microsoft Edge, then click the pen icon or press Ctrl+Shift+M to switch into note-taking mode. From the toolbar, you can add text notes and mark up any part of the page with a virtual ballpoint pen or highlighter. Use the Clip tool to select a specific rectangular region instead of the entire page.
When you've finished your annotation, click Save to create a bookmark or send the results to OneNote. Use the Share Web Note icon to send a copy of the annotated page to any supported Share target, including the Mail app and most social media apps. Click the X at the right side of the page to return to the unannotated page.
