Add box/circle/oval drawing on Snip & Sketch
After a screen capture, often I need to highlight a capture part.
I'd like to draw a colored boxes/circles/ovals
Now I have to use paint.

Any update on this? Snip and Sketch needs this feature for people who create a lot of documentation

Yes... I can't believe this tool doesn't let you draw on a screenshot. It would also be nice to have an obfuscate option. Greenshot has these things and obfuscate is excellent for blurring out text or numbers you don't want to include. Of course you can always use a black marker as well, but it looks better to just blur things. I would just use Greenshot, but it doesn't scale properly on a 4K display.

Absolutely agree - this functionality is a must. So disappointed with this new tool.

Agree with the other comments here. Extremely clunky to have to open a separate application to do something as basic as draw a rectangle...

Without a function to draw a rectangle or arrows on the images, this product is no different than the snipping tool. We'll have to use paint anyways. Include these and remove the normal sketch options - peeps would be least bothered :)

would like to avoid using paint, this simple feature would prevent me from ever needing it again

Please Microsoft. Add this feature in a timely manner or least tell us that you have no intention to add the ability to draw shapes on a screenshot so we use something else.

Bizarre omission. Come on Microsoft this is a basic feature.More important then different pens / colours etc.

Seriously?? Everyone said "oh, the built-in Windows snip tool is WAY better than Greenshot, why are you using that outdated tool?" I can't even draw a rectangle?? Who greenlights this stuff??

The functionality to draw a box or a circle around a part of a screenshot is a basic and fundamental part of taking screenshots. The UX thought process behind the leaving out of this functionality is bizarre and unsettling. C'mon MS listen to what your users want not what some tech developer has decided we shouldn't have because "he doesn't use boxes"!!......So I also ask: Does Microsoft actually look at these comments or vote count?

I'm really annoyed about this too. But, is MS really looking in to this forum????

There is a option in Lotus notes “Capture part of your screen” and in that tool we can draw the screen capture in Rectangle and Ellipse, Off course there are many other options but draw Rectangle and Ellipse are quite useful and I did not see this facility in snipping tool and MO365.
This option is called "Skip & ******" so really we need it with MO365,' -

Good example of how not to consider your target user...
Back to using Greenshot*. Great app and free.*No, I don't have shares in that app. It's just free fellow-user advise.

How was this not considered when creating this tool???
The need to add boxes, circles and other shapes is often crucial to the screen shot we are snipping. -
