Kind of strange with the sheer number and level of detail in the "Ask a Question" category list that the Edge Browser isn't one. Plus the list is huge but not in any sort of order so good citizens have to take a long time to find a category (or not find it).

But to the question....

MS really promoted the Web Notes feature of Edge. And SUPPOSEDLY it can save an annotated page as something other than a picture, such as a working web page (search, working links, etc.). But on my Windows 10 PCs, no matter what the target I save to, all I get are pictures of the web page and no discernible options to specify a different format.

What's the secret? Or is that all Web notes can do? If so, what's the point? I can already save a full web page as a picture in my other browsers via extensions and. like just about everyone, have a program to doodle on a picture. Likewise I can save any full web page as a PDF (via an extension) and have far more mark up capability than Web Notes with free PDF editors.
 
Agreed. It's great for very brief notes on say, a web recipe. But as a serious tool for annotating? Not so much. Is there really that much user research that says what most people need to do when marking up is draw circles and arrows?
