That new feature of the Surface app only seems to be available for Surface Pro 4/SP4 pen. SP3 and S3 owners do not see this new feature.

Guzzler3 posted these instructions over at WindowsCentral. He said it works for the SP3 pen, too, and I would think it would work with the Surface 3, as well. I haven't tried it yet, myself, need to wait until I get home:
First, you have un-pair your pen in the Bluetooth settings.
Then you have to uninstall the pen drivers (Device Manager: Right click: Uninstall and remove files the following entries: "HID-compliant pen" & "Surface Pen Settings").
Then you have to download the Surface Pro 4 drivers (https://www.microsoft.com/en-u... )
SurfacePro4_Win10_151203_0.zip.
Extract the ZIP file, navigate down to \Drivers\Pen and install the following:
SurfacePen
SurfacePenPairing
SurfacePenSettingsDriver
By going into each directory and right clicking the .INF file and select "Install"
Restart your SP3 Then re-pair your pen in Settings, Devices, Bluetooth.
Then you can open the Surface App and you will see the additional pen settings.
