Launching the Snipping Tool now opens up a new UI that borrows from the Windows 11 design language as well as Snip & Sketch. While it doesn't make a difference since the feature-set has been unified either way, you'll notice that 'Snip & Sketch' will return no results in Windows Search, since it has been completely removed.

The settings allow you to add outlines to snips, show you prompts before saving an image, toggle auto-copy to clipboard, and open snips in multiple windows. You also get the ability to print or open the image with another app. All other functionalities from the Snipping Tool have been carried over too. This includes different types of pointing devices, the ability to crop images, and a ruler. Once you have taken a screenshot, it offers you a range of capabilities that sets it apart from the Snipping Tool. It also enables you to snip immediately, after 3 seconds, or after 10 seconds. You can open it directly via the app or the Win + Shift + S keyboard shortcut - the latter will open the app with snipping ready. It is essentially a rebranding of Screen Sketch, and features a more refined UI as well as new functionalities.
