Hey, Insiders! We had a wonderful summer (in the northern hemisphere) break over the past two weeks, but we're back now with our regularly scheduled updates. Let’s get to it!
First, we’re quite excited to announce that
Add option to remove previous search terms from the New Tab Page’s search box auto-suggestion list is moving to
Planned! While we don’t have much to share in terms of how this will be done, the team is planning how to address this for you all.
Additionally, during our break the team implemented the
Highlighter tool for PDF files. We are marking this as Addressed. To access the highlighter, open a PDF in Microsoft Edge. At the top right, you will see the new option for Highlight. Click the drop-down arrow at the right of the button to select the desired color of the highlighter. Eraser is also supported on highlights. Tapping on Erase button and dragging across a highlight will remove it from the text. We have pen support coming soon.
We do still have more updates coming to the PDF reader, you can find out more about those in our
PDF roadmap. We are always looking to hear from you, so let us know what you think of this tool and other changes you’d like to see with PDFs over on that thread. Additionally, submitting any feedback through the browser itself gets your thoughts and suggestions to the team.
This week we are also closing out two items as
Not Planned, and one as our new status
Alternative Planned. These three are around Fluent design, and we provided
an update on our plans here. Let us know your thoughts on this update in the thread!
As always, thanks so much to you all for helping us shape Edge into the browser you want. We’ll see you next week!
