NEW FEATURE: PDF INKING Improvements - More Colors and Thickness Slider

 

 

 

 

This looks so good! loving it

previously we only had one single color and it was blue, weren't able to change thickness.

 

this is on Edge insider Version 81.0.389.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

 

p.s it could be a controlled feature rollout. so might or might not be available to everyone.

      Hi,

      you can download Canary by searching for phrases like "download Edge canary" or "download edge insider".

       

      here is the download link: https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download/

      download the canary channel 🙂

       

      correction: it's not available in all countries..

      Can also rename pinned tiles on new tab page in version 81.0.389.0HotCakeX . Love it! And no more accidentally deleting a tile on touchscreens by touching the "X".

    HotCakeX  :sad: Not available for me right now. I hope they add an option to highlight freehand. For me, that was the only thing lacking in Edge legacy's pdf reader.

      Try using a VPN (US, UK, etc)
      once connected, restart Edge canary twice, wait 5 seconds between each restarts, then you should be seeing this new feature.

      and Yes, controlled feature roll outs are in fact based on user's country. i've tested this for months and it's been proven to me 100%.
