Windows 10 finally has a complete set of screen-capture tools. After installing version 1809, you'll find a set of features that allow you to copy a rectangle, a freeform area, or the entire screen to the Clipboard, which now lets you save and reuse multiple items and even sync those clips to other devices; from the Clipboard, you can crop and annotate the screen capture (called a "snip") in the new Snip & Sketch app, and then save and share the results.
After you capture a portion of the screen, use these Snip & Sketch tools to mark it up.
(These new features are in addition to the traditional techniques based on the PrtScn key, which I explained earlier in How to capture and print a Windows 10 screen.)
Here's everything you need to know about the Snip & Sketch app and its markup tools.
The Snip & Sketch toolbar includes Ballpoint Pen, Pencil, and Highlighter icons, with the option to customize the width and color of each tool. The icons on the far right allow you to save a snip, copy your annotated version to the Clipboard, or share it using the Windows 10 Share pane.
I'll have more on the new Clipboard in an upcoming tip.
