In these lessons we're gonna learn about working in collaboration within Windows 11. In this lesson, we're gonna talk about working with multiple open application within Windows 11. Now I know most of us have found, you know, when you only have your laptop with you or your tablet, obviously you have a limited amount of desktop. Now, if you're at your desk, you probably have more than one monitor. And this doesn't really pose that much of a problem. But let's say, for example, like this recording, I have one screen and I want to open multiple applications. So let's go ahead, let's open up a few here. We'll open up the mail app that's native to Windows 11. Let's go ahead and open up Microsoft Store. And then let's also go ahead and open up our Brave browser. So, you know, I've got all these open and it's taking up some space on my desktop. What we can do is create snap groups or snap these into different locations on the desktop. Now this is nothing new to Windows 11. We could do this in Windows 10, but this whole idea about snap groups is new to Windows 11. So if I go to one of my apps and I hover over the window icon, you can see I have different options as far as how I want to lay this out. So I have three open apps. I'm gonna choose this option here, click on this, so it snaps my browser in there. And I can go and it puts my store icon here. And then we'll snap our mailbox in here. And you can see now that I can work within each app where it's snapped rather than having to constantly move things around on the desktop. So again, not a new feature as far as snapping applications into different locations on the desktop. But let's say I have multiple groups of applications snapped together. So, let's open up a few more. Let's go ahead and open up Edge on top of this. We'll open up Movies and TV app. And then one more here. We'll go ahead and open up, we'll say Notepad. So now I'm gonna snap these three together, just like I did the last three. We'll say Movies and TV there. And then down here, I'm gonna want to put in Edge. All right, so I have two groups of snaps, but what's nice about snap groups is if I come down to the toolbar, I can open up an individual app within each of those snap groups without having to rearrange everything. So if I wanted to open up the Brave browser underneath, there I go. Pretty cool. And I don't have to rearrange all of these to open that up. So those are snap groups within Windows 11. Depending on how I want these groups to work and these snap settings, I can go, let me close down our snap groups here, close all these out, and we're gonna go to Start in the Settings. And if we go under Multitasking, I have snap windows on. Now by default, this is on when you install Windows 11, but you can come in here and configure it the way you want it. As far as where snap windows go, how they look when you hover over them, that kind of stuff. So that's working with open applications within Windows 11. Snap technology has been around for a while, but a few additions have now been added to Windows 11. Fool around with it, get used to it, and take advantage of it.
