Microsoft releases new updates for Notepad to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels on Windows 11

Good news for Windows Insiders! Recently, Microsoft has released new updates for Notepad in the Canary and Dev Channels on Windows 11.

Here are the details

New updates rolled out for Notepad to Windows Insiders

The update arrives with firmware version 11.2510.6.0 and includes two new features- expanded formatting support with tables and streaming results for AI text features.

Expanded formatting support with tables

Insiders can now easily insert tables in their documents to help structure their notes. To get started, look for the new Table option in the formatting toolbar or by adding them using Markdown syntax directly. Once inserted, you can perform quick edits to add or remove rows and columns in the right-click context menu or from the Table menu in the toolbar.

Streaming results for AI Text features

The experience for Write, Rewrite, and Summarise is improved with streaming result responses. Results will start to appear quicker without the need to wait for the full response, providing a preview sooner that you can interact with.

Do note that the streaming support for Rewrite is limited to results generated locally on Copilot+ PCs at this time. To use Write, Rewrite, and Summarise in Notepad, you will need to sign in with your Microsoft account.

Insiders can provide their feedback for this update in Feedback Hub (WIN+F) under Apps> Notepad.
