To Exit Split View you go to the top of the screen so you can see the tools at the top. To switch to another app, so you're using those two but then you want to go to another app back on the main Desktop, you can Command Tab to just go to the other app just like you would normally or you can use Control and the left arrow to go back to your Desktop to see the apps there. To resize once you're in Split View you just drag the middle line left or right. Then you click a second app for the other half. To get in you click and hold the green button at the top left corner of the video. Here's a quick summary of what you need to do to get in and out of Split View. So that's a way to do it that's a little less messy than taking one out and than taking the other one out separately. Now I can click on the Desktop there and both apps have now returned to be on this screen. I click on that and that pulls both apps out. Now if I want to exit here I can do it by going to Mission Control, so I'm going to do Control up arrow, and if I move my cursor here and wait you can see I've got this little button here to exit full screen mode. I can give it a little bit more space but I can't go to the left much. Calendar is an app that you can't go past halfway. If I click and hold and enter Split Screen mode here. So it takes a bunch of steps to get out of it.īut there is a better way though. I have to go to it and also have it exit full screen mode. But if I look at Mission Control, Control up arrow, you can see Safari now is its own full screen. I'll click there and you can see it puts Reminders back. You basically would click here at one of these green buttons and it will take that one app out. I can use Control and left to go to the Desktop. I can Control up arrow again to look at Mission Control and see this is now the Reminders and Safari Desktop. So now you can use this in Split Screen or Split View mode. So it depends upon the app and what it handles. Other apps won't let you go past halfway. Reminders collapses a little bit further and it could be just a narrow list. For instance if I try to drag to the right you can see Safari only goes and collapses this far. Now how much you can drag it back and forth depends upon the app. I also get this little divider bar here that I can drag back and forth. Now I've entered the Split Screen mode and I can move my cursor to the top and get the Menu Bar there and the tools for both windows at the same time. So I'm going to release it here and it puts this app on that side of the screen and all the other windows are going to appear on the other side and I get to choose one. This whole time I still have my trackpad or mouse pressed down, holding it. So I'm basically dragging and dropping this window to which side of the screen I want it to be on. So I'm going to click and hold and after one second you can see I get this view where half the screen is shaded blue and it's the half with the cursor over it. Now to do Split View you click this green button but you Hold it. Now I'm back to everything just being on this Desktop. Now to Exit I click the green button again. I can also use Control and left arrow and right arrow to move between those screens. In addition if I use Mission Control with Control, Control not Command but Control, and the up arrow I can see I've got my Desktop here and I've got Safari full screen. I've taken Safari to full screen mode now and you can see the Menu Bar is gone but it reappears if I bring my cursor to the top. If I just click it I go to full screen mode. Now this is the same thing you use for full screen modes. To get to Split View mode you use the green button. I just want to focus on Reminders and Safari here. So as an example here let's say I've got a bunch of stuff and it's crowding my window. It's pretty easy to startup but a little bit hard to get out of. Split View is a way for you to take apps on your Mac full screen but instead of a single app on that full screen you can share it with two apps.
