Мы уже рассказывали о возможностях использования технологии Windows Ink в приложении «Карты». Сегодня хотим поведать об основных функциях Windows Ink Workspace. Технология Windows Ink входит в обновление Windows 10 Anniversary Update и позволяет обладателям устройств, поддерживающих сенсорный ввод или работу с пером, быстро и легко фиксировать свои идеи.

Начните работать с Windows Ink Workspace

Рабочая область Windows Ink* Workspace открывает доступ ко всем функциям и приложениям, использующим рукописный ввод. Открыв панель, вы получите доступ к таким возможностям, как «Записки», «Альбом», «Наброски на экране», а также ссылки на недавно использованные приложения, оптимизированные для работы с пером.

Найти Windows Ink Workspace просто: достаточно щелкнуть большим пальцем кнопку ручки** или нажать на соответствующую кнопку в области уведомлений справа на панели задач! Если вы не видите значок, щелкните правой кнопкой мыши панель задач и выберите «Показать кнопку Windows Ink Workspace».

Больше интерактива

Записки доступны в меню «Пуск» или в верхней части Windows Ink Workspace. Напишите адрес, и приложение «Карты» поможет составить маршрут. Перечень из нескольких пунктов превратится в удобный список. Кроме того, при использовании Кортаны, если вы укажете дату или время в записке, они сразу будут выделены. Затем, коснувшись выделенного фрагмента, можно создать напоминание. Оно появится на всех ваших устройствах, где установлена Кортана***.

Рисуйте в альбоме, используя цифровую линейку

Альбом Windows Ink Workspace — это чистый лист, на котором легко сделать быструю зарисовку, зафиксировать идею или составить схему для мозгового штурма.

В Windows Ink вы можете измерить расстояние или начертить прямую линию с помощью цифровой линейки — пользоваться ей так же удобно, как и обычной! Откройте альбом или наброски экрана в Windows Ink Workspace и нажмите на значок линейки в правом верхнем углу панели инструментов. Разместив цифровую линейку нужным образом, вы можете рисовать идеально ровные линии пером (или пальцем, если вы переключитесь на сенсорный ввод с помощью соответствующего значка).

Делайте пометки и рисунки на снимках рабочего стола с помощью набросков экрана

Функция набросков позволяет рисовать на снимке вашего рабочего стола. Вы сможете делать на цифровых документах рукописные пометки точно так же, как на распечатанных, или добавлять собственные штрихи к понравившимся картинкам из приложения «Фотографии» и легко делиться результатами.

Наброски экрана позволяют вам выражать свои эмоции или персонализировать изображения наиболее естественным образом — рисуя или делая пометки. Вы также можете обрезать изображение, оставив только нужную часть. Как и рисунок в альбоме, набросок экрана легко сохранить и отправить друзьям и коллегам.

* Требуется планшет или компьютер, поддерживающий сенсорный ввод. Перо может продаваться отдельно.

** Требуется перо с кнопкой Bluetooth. Использование данной кнопки должно быть включено в настройках.

*** Кортана доступна не для всех рынков; функционал в разных регионах и на разных устройствах может отличаться.

Windows Ink has been a part of Windows 10 since late 2016. The Windows Ink Workspace is a set of apps designed for touch-enabled devices. Combined with an active stylus, or pen, you can quickly jot down notes in the Sticky Notes app, sketch ideas in the Sketchpad app, or makes notes on screenshots in the Screen Sketch app.

You don’t need to have a device with a pen, like a Surface Pro 4. You can use Windows Ink Workspace on any Windows 10 PC, with or without a touchscreen. Having a touchscreen allows you to write on the screen with your finger in the Sketchpad or Screen Sketch apps.

Here is our hands-on guide to using Windows Ink Workspace on your Windows 10 PC or device. We didn’t have a pen to test on our Windows 10 touchscreen laptop.

Open the Windows Ink Workspace

If you have a Surface Pro device, press the button on the pen to open the Windows Ink Workspace. If you’re using a Windows 10 PC with or without a touchscreen, but no pen, you may need to add the Windows Ink Workspace button to the Taskbar.

The button looks like script capital «I» and would be on the right side of the Taskbar next to the time and date. If you don’t see the button, right-click on an empty area on the Taskbar and select Show Windows Workspace button from the popup menu.

To open the Windows Ink Workspace, click the button that now appears on your Taskbar.

Jot Down Notes and Create Reminders With Sticky Notes

Sticky Notes has been part of Windows for a while, but the Windows Ink Workspace links your sticky notes to Cortana. When you enter a reference to a day or time, like «tomorrow,» you can let Cortana remind you of the event you write on the note. If you enter a flight number, Cortana will fetch the flight status from Bing. If you’re using multiple Windows devices, your Sticky Notes will be synced across them.

Click the Windows Ink Workspace button on the Taskbar and then click Sticky Notes at the top.

To be able to use the integrations with Bing and Cortana, you must enable insights. When the dialog box pictured below displays, click Enable Insights.

If you have a pen for your device, write a message on the sticky note. Or type the note if you don’t have a pen. You’ll notice that any day or time you put on the note turns red. To create a reminder from your note, click the red text.

Next, click the Add Reminder button that displays at the bottom of the note.

Cortana pops up asking to use your Microsoft account to personalize your experience. Click Personalize.

Select the account you want to use and click Continue. You can use a live.com, outlook.com, or hotmail.com account.

Even though you’re already signed into Cortana, you must re-enter your password again because you’re accessing sensitive information. Then, click Sign in.

Set the time and date and select the frequency and then click Remind.

Cortana says she will remind you and shows you the reminder she set up.

Use the plus icon to add a new note. To change the color of the current note, click the Menu button and select a color. Each note can be a different color. To delete the note, click the trash can icon.

When you delete a note, a confirmation dialog box displays to make sure you want to delete it. If you don’t want to see this dialog box every time, check the Don’t ask me again box before clicking Delete.

Sketch Your Ideas With Sketchpad

Sketchpad is a very simple app that displays a blank one-page sketchpad where you can write or draw anything you want on it. This is handy if you come up with an idea and you need to draw something to get it down. Instead of grabbing a piece of paper, use Sketchpad.

To start sketching, click the Windows Ink Workspace button on the Taskbar and then click Sketchpad.

Microsoft provided a default drawing in Sketchpad to start with. To clear the sketchpad completely and start fresh, click Clear all on the toolbar.

In the left section of the toolbar, you’ll find the Ballpoint Pen, Pencil, Highlighter, Eraser, and Ruler tools. Click on a tool to use it on the sketchpad, then use your pen, finger, or mouse to draw or erase on the sketchpad.

The ballpoint pen and pencil each have thirty colors you can use to draw and the highlighter has six different colors. To change the color for a tool, click the arrow on the button and then click the color you want to use. You can also change the Size of the tool.

Ever tried to draw a straight line on a screen? It’s hard enough on paper without a ruler. The Sketchpad app includes a ruler you can use at any angle, even without a pen.

Click the Ruler tool on the toolbar. You’ll see a ruler display on the sketchpad at a 45-degree angle. If you have a touchscreen, you can move the ruler around with one finger and change the angle by twisting two fingers around on the ruler.

If you don’t have a touchscreen, use the mouse to click and drag the ruler around. To change the angle without a touchscreen, move the mouse cursor over the ruler and use the scroll wheel.

Once you’ve positioned the ruler, draw along the edge of the ruler with any of the drawing tools. You’ll find even if you stray away from the edge of the ruler, the line you’re drawing will stay straight.

The middle section on the toolbar allows you to turn Touch Writing on or off, undo and redo actions, and crop your sketch.

The buttons in the right section of the toolbar allow you to clear the entire sketchpad, save the sketch as a PNG file, copy the sketch to the clipboard, or share your sketch through Windows 10’s sharing center.

Close the Sketchpad using the red X button on the right side of the toolbar. Your sketch remains in the Sketchpad app until you clear it.

Annotate Screenshots With Screen Sketch

The Screen Sketch app allows you to take a screenshot of whatever’s currently on your screen and then draw on it using the same tools available in the Sketchpad app. It’s like Edge’s Ink feature, but you can draw on the entire screen, not just on a web page.

To use Screen Sketch, make sure what you want to capture is active on the screen. Then, click the Windows Ink Workspace button and click Screen Sketch.

The app captures the screen and presents it for you to write on. Use the drawing tools and the ruler to draw or write what you want using a pen, your finger, or a mouse.

You can save, copy, or share your screenshot just like you can do with sketches in the Sketchpad app.

Open a Pen-Enabled App

Recently used pen-enabled apps are listed towards the bottom of the Windows Ink Workspace, whether or not you have a pen.

For example, you can click the Edge icon.

Then use Edge’s Ink feature to write on a web page. Some of the same tools you’ll recognize from the Sketchpad and Screen Sketch app are also available in Edge’s Ink feature. You can also save and share your annotated web page.

Get More Pen-Enabled Apps

The Get more pen apps link on the Windows Ink Workspace opens the Windows Store and shows you all the apps in which you can use your pen.

Customize the Pen Settings

If you’re using a pen, you can customize it in the Windows 10 Settings app by clicking Pen & Windows Ink settings at the bottom of the Windows Ink Workspace. As we mentioned, we don’t have a pen to test, but you can learn about the Pen settings on Microsoft’s support site.

Organize Your Ideas and Life With Windows Ink

Try out the Windows Ink Workspace to take notes and create reminders for yourself, sketch your ideas, or annotate a screenshot. You can also share your sketches and screenshots with others.

If the Windows Ink Workspace doesn’t quite meet your note-taking needs, give OneNote a try.

Have you used the Windows Ink Workspace? On a Surface device or a Windows 10 PC with a touchscreen? What do you use the Windows Ink apps for? Let us know your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.

How to Use Sticky Notes, Sketchpad, and Screen Sketch

How to Configure Your Pen and Customize the Workspace

How to Disable the Windows Ink Workspace Icon

Windows 10’s Anniversary Update improves on Windows 10’s stylus support with a new «Windows Ink Workspace» feature. It’s designed to make using a digital pen faster and easier with a Windows 10 tablet or convertible device.

Aside from being a dedicated launcher for pen-enabled apps, the Windows Ink Workspace includes new Sticky Notes, Sketchpad, and Screen Sketch applications. You’ll also find more options for controlling how your pen functions in the Settings app.

How to Open the Windows Ink Workspace

To launch the workspace, click or tap the pen-shaped Windows Ink Workspace icon that appears in your notification area.

If you have a stylus or digital pen with a shortcut button, you can also quickly launch the Windows Ink Workspace by pressing the button on the pen. For example, if you have a Surface Pen, you can press the button on the pen to launch the workspace. That’s the default setting, at least—you can customize what the button does from the Settings app.

How to Launch and Find Pen-Enabled Apps

The Windows Ink Workspace is like a Start menu for getting stuff done with a pen. Rather than hunting down individual apps, you just grab your pen, press the button, and then tap the app you want to use with the pen.

It opens as a sidebar on the right side of your screen and provides quick access to apps like the new Sticky Notes, Sketchpad, and Screen Sketch tools, along with quick shortcut tiles to launch pen-enabled apps you recently used. These shortcut tiles are just another way to find and launch pen-enabled apps without your other installed applications getting in the way.

You’ll also see «Suggested» apps from the Windows Store here, and you can click or tap «Get more pen apps» to view a special page on the Windows Store that lists only pen-enabled apps. This gives you a faster way to find pen-enabled apps, like Microsoft’s own Fresh Paint application for digital art.

How to Use Sticky Notes, Sketchpad, and Screen Sketch

The three main Windows Ink Workspace apps are provided by Windows and designed to make using your pen easier and faster.

Use Sticky Notes to jot down notes with a pen (or just type them out with your keyboard) and refer to them later. Sticky Notes is a more lightweight app that’s ideal for quick notes. For more detailed, extensive note-taking, you’re probably better off with Microsoft’s OneNote.

When you open Sticky Notes, you’ll be asked if you want to «Enable insights», which will make Windows use character recognition read your sticky notes and use Bing and Cortana to provide more detailed information. For example, if you jot down a flight number, Sticky Notes will perform character recognition, recognize the flight number, and turn it into a link. Click or tap the link to view up-to-date details about that flight number. This is entirely optional, and the main purpose of the Sticky Notes app is just for writing notes with a pen or your keyboard.

Sketchpad is basically just a digital whiteboard. You’ll find options for choosing different styles of writing, from thin pencil to colored pens and thicker highlighters of different colors. There’s also a virtual ruler you can enable that will allow you to draw a completely straight line. Place the ruler, draw, and your line will stay snapped to the edge of the ruler. You can save an image of your whiteboard to an image file or use the share button to send it to someone through another app.

Screen Sketch is a fairly simple tool that allows you to mark up your screen. When you launch Screen Sketch, it will take a screenshot and give you drawing tools you can use to annotate it. Draw or write whatever you want over your screen, and then you can save the sketch to an image file and send it to someone or use the share button to share it with another app.

If you just want to save a screenshot without annotating it, use the Windows+PrintScreen keyboard shortcut instead.

How to Configure Your Pen and Customize the Workspace

To customize the Windows Ink Workspace, head to Settings > Devices > Pen & Windows Ink. You’ll find a variety of options for controlling your pen and the Windows Ink Workspace here. For example, you can tell Windows whether you write with your right or left hand and choose what the button on the pen does when you click, double-click, or long-press it.

How to Disable the Windows Ink Workspace Icon

If you don’t plan on using a pen with Windows 10 and you want to get the Windows Ink Workspace off your taskbar, you can turn it off just like you’d turn off other system icons.

To do this, head to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Turn System Icons On or Off. Locate the Windows Ink Workspace icon here and set it to «Off».
