Key notes
A Microsoft Insider spotted a new option that Microsoft has added to theEdgeCollections feature. Namely, anAdd to Collectionsbutton for each new web capture.
While this detail is only visible for those part of the Insider Program, running Edge Canary, it certainly adds to the many improvements brought to Microsoft’s flagship browser lately.
How to save a screenshot to your Collections
Web capture is a very useful built-in Edge tool that allows users to take snapshots of their screens and save them for later use. It successfully replaces Windows’s Snipping Tool, in case you don’t want to exit your browser for this job.
Presently, only actions such as preview, copy, share or annotate screenshots are available for general use. But when using the new option, the saved image will sync across all devices using the same Microsoft account.
On this note, you’ll be pleased to know that the developers haverecently fixedcrashes generated when the Collections sync option was enabled.
This new button was noticed on a 64-bit system, as the userpointed out, but it should be visible on Edge Canary running in 32-bit Windows 10 as well.
For sure, Edge developers are riding the big wave these weeks with all these changes. In case you missed out on the news, last week aPerformance Modeand anAdd text to PDFwere added to Edge Canary.
