Notepad in Windows 11 Is Getting More Copilot AI

Notepad and Snipping Tool Enhancements Arrive in Windows 11 Update

Windows 11 users can look forward to significant improvements in two familiar applications: Notepad and the Snipping Tool. A highly requested feature, a "recent files" option, is finally coming to Notepad. This allows for easy access and reopening of recently closed documents directly from the File menu, streamlining workflow and eliminating the frustration of lost work. Users can also manage or disable this feature through app settings. Privacy is addressed as the recent files list only displays document titles, not content.

The Snipping Tool also receives a welcome update, focusing on enhanced annotation capabilities. A new "draw & hold" function facilitates the creation of more precise shapes, addressing previous challenges with the freehand drawing tool. This improvement simplifies the process of creating clean, professional-looking annotations. Furthermore, developers will find it easier to integrate the Snipping Tool into their applications thanks to an improved launch protocol, potentially leading to increased Snipping Tool visibility across various apps.

The improved launch protocol will also make it easier for developers to integrate the Snipping Tool into their apps. This could mean seeing the Snipping Tool more frequently within other applications.

These updates are currently rolling out gradually to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev channels. Microsoft encourages feedback, particularly for the Notepad update, which represents a more significant change and integration with the AI ecosystem. Feedback can be submitted through the Feedback Hub app (WIN F).
