Creating web notes in Microsoft Edge is simple. Here’s how:
- ■Make sure that your Windows 10 computer is connected to the Internet.
■Click the Microsoft Edge’s icon from the taskbar.
■Once opened, in the address bar, type the URL of the website on which you want to make web notes.
■When the web page loads successfully, from the top-right corner of the Microsoft Edge’s interface, click the Make a Web Note button.
■From the purple bar that appears at the top of the browser’s interface, click the Pen tool.
■Draw a mark on your preferred section of the page.
■Click the Highlighter button and highlight the text or object of your choice.
■You can also click the annotation button (represented by a Callout symbol) to add a caption to a selected area on the page.
■Optionally you can use the Clip tool to drag and select the area of the web page where you have marked, highlighted, and/or captioned important stuff.
Note: The Clip tool comes in handy when you want to share only a particular (marked) area of the web page instead of sending the whole page altogether to your contacts or on your social network profile.
Note: You can use the Eraser tool to remove any of the highlighted objects. In order to remove a caption, you must click the annotation button, and click the Trash symbol present within the caption box.
■Once done, you can click the Share button from the top-right corner of the Web Notes (purple) bar.
■From the displayed options, click the one where or with whom you want to share the web notes, and follow the on-screen instructions from there to complete the process.
■Alternatively, you can also click the Save button (represented by a floppy symbol, and is present next to the Share button) from the top-right corner of the purple bar to save the web note on your local computer.
■Click Exit from the top-right corner of the web notes bar when done.
Note: When you click Exit, all the web notes (markings) are erased, and if needed, you can start over with the new web note creation process right from the scratch.
