I'll have more on the new Clipboard in an upcoming tip. 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. The Snip & Sketch toolbar includes Ballpoint Pen, Pencil, and Highlighter icons, with the option to customize the width and color of each tool. If the notification disappears before you get a chance to click it, open the Action Center and click the saved item there. You can click that notification to open the item in the Snip & Sketch app. Step 3: Click on the New button to start the timer (you won’t see any timer on the screen). Step 2: Next, click on the Delay icon and select 5 seconds as it gives you enough time to launch the menu that you want to capture.

After you complete a snip, Windows displays a toast notification in the lower right corner. Click on the Mode icon and then select Rectangular snip. Add The Snipping Tool To The Task Bar AugIf you're a regular user of the Sniping Tool, you probably want to have it easily to hand rather than having to keep going off to the Start Menu to find it, well, it's actually pretty easy to pin the Snipping tool to the Taskbar so it's right on hand every time you want it.

Click New to display the Snip toolbar immediately, or use one of the other options to delay your capture by 3 seconds or 10 seconds, during which you can arrange the screen to show the menu or other item you want to highlight.

As an alternative, you can begin a capture from the Snip & Sketch app.

After selecting either of the first two options, use the mouse pointer to draw the area you want to capture. That dims the screen and adds a small toolbar at the top of the display, where you can choose to snip a rectangle, a free-form area, or the entire screen.

To begin a capture, press Windows key + Shift + S.

Here's everything you need to know about the Snip & Sketch app and its markup tools. (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.)
