Snip & Sketch
• The Snip & Sketch tool is easier to access, share and annotate screenshots
than the old Snipping Tool. And it can now capture a screenshot of a
window on your desktop, a surprising omission when the app was first
introduced that kept me on Team Snipping Tool until recently.
• The easiest way to call up Snip & Sketch is with the keyboard
shortcut Windows key + Shift + S. You can also find the Snip & Sketch
tool listed in in the alphabetical list of apps accessed from the Start button
as well as in the notification panel where it listed as Screen snip. Or you
can just search for it if you don't commit the keyboard shortcut to
memory. (If you're regular screenshot taker, I recommend pinning the app
to the taskbar.)
Snipping Tool
• The Snipping Tool has been around since Windows Vista. Windows has
warned for a couple years that the Snipping Tool is moving away, but it's
still kicking around. The Snipping Tool has been delisted from the list of
apps from the Start menu, but it's easily accessible via the search bar.
• Click the New button to begin the screenshot process. The default snip
type is a rectangular snip, but you can also take free-form, full-screen
and window snips.
• The Snipping Tool does not automatically save your screenshots -- you
will need to manually save them in the tool before you exit -- and it does
automatically copy your captures to the clipboard.
