The newest version of Microsoft Edge does not have inking capability. Can you please check the update history to see if you had an update for Edge?

so the latest update has done away with a feature I was looking forward to using?  I just got my pc a few months ago, I saw the pen icon, but never used it.  Now, it's...gone??  Not good!

This is awful! I relied so heavily on this pen icon, please bring it back! This is the main reason why I got the surface pro, so I could write on documents!

WAIT, you did away with the #1 thing that made me use Edge over Google? WHY? That was one of the best feature. I do love some of the updates, but what gives Edge the edge over Google now?  I have been racking my brain to figure out where this stupid pen icon went to . I'm so glad that I found these comments finally . I loved and relied heavily on that pen icon . I'm just not sure if edge is worth continuing over Google Now . Sigh. Bring this feature back, please.

Agree, this is VERY disappointing. I bought my first surface within the past 6 months. At first, I had been using Chrome as my primary browser until a Microsoft associate pointed out the ability to mark up webpages in Edge using the Surface Pen. This was a game changer and I've been using Edge ever since (or at least until I I "upgraded" to the latest version). I cannot understand the rationale behind this change :( --very disappointing. 

If anyone knows how I can go back to the old version of EDGE, please advise.

Click on the tip twice and you will launch an additional window, this is the new "Inking on workspace" then you will be able to start writing on the existing document like before. you are able to adjust the pen settings to your preference (click once or twice) in your "pen settings". hope this helps.
