How to set up and use Web Capture to take notes on screenshots in Edge?

The Web Capture tool in Microsoft Edge allows you to create accurate screenshots of web pages of any length, not just the visible area of the monitor. This feature is supplemented with a set of tools for drawing and adding annotations, making it indispensable when discussing website layouts with colleagues, collecting educational materials, or capturing bugs during web application development.

To invoke the web capture feature, you can use the quick shortcut Ctrl plus Shift plus S or open the browser menu using the three dots and select the corresponding item. After activating the mode, the screen will slightly darken, and the cursor will turn into an area selection tool, allowing you to capture both an arbitrary fragment of the page and the entire page, including scrollable areas.

Once the screenshot is taken, the browser interface will offer two main action choices: copy the resulting image to the clipboard for quick insertion into a document or messenger, or click the Add notes button to go to the built-in editor. In editor mode, various graphics tools will become available to you.

Use the virtual highlighter or pen to circle important interface elements, underline text, or make handwritten comments. You can choose the line thickness and color palette of the markers for your tasks. If you make a mistake, the eraser tool will help you quickly remove unwanted strokes without having to redo the entire screenshot.

Upon completing the markup work, save the final result to your computer's hard drive or copy it to the clipboard using the buttons in the top right corner of the editor. Created web captures are saved in standard graphic formats, ensuring their universal compatibility with any external image viewing and editing programs.
