The Stage Manager button in Control Panel. The dock stays visible down at the bottom of the screen as well, though you can hide the recent apps list and the dock if you prefer, via the settings screen that we just mentioned. Alternatively, open up the main iPadOS Settings screen, then choose Home Screen & Multitasking and Stage Manager to find the toggle switch and related options.Īs on macOS, you get your current app in the center of the screen, and recent apps as thumbnails on the left. To use Stage Manager on your iPad, swipe down from the top right corner of the screen to get to the Control Center, then tap the Stage Manager icon (a rectangle with three dots by it). Stage Manager is a bit more useful on iPad than Mac, as it’s the only way to get a window-style experience. On a Mac, Stage Manager is a simplified way of managing open programs, which may suit you if you’re constantly switching between a small selection of apps, or want to keep your apps grouped in a specific way. If you make an app full screen, it moves to its own space outside of the Stage Manager system. To get these programs back, use Cmd+Tab or the dock (the same goes for apps that fall off the end of the thumbnail list). The applications won’t close, but you won’t see the programs in the center of the screen or on the left. To hide away a window or group of windows that are currently in the center spot, press Cmd+H. To remove a window from a group, drag it to the thumbnail panel on the left. With one window open, click and drag a second window from the thumbnail panel into the middle to add it to the group-the next time you switch to another application, this group of windows will minimize to the left as a collective. You can also create groups of windows from different programs, if you’d like to. To go back again, click a thumbnail, and your desktop items are hidden (again, this can be changed under Customize if needed). You can still use Cmd+Tab or the dock to switch between apps as normal, too.Ĭlick on the desktop and all your open windows fly off to the thumbnails on the left, and your desktop shortcuts and files become visible. Multiple windows from the same app appear under the same thumbnail on the left, and can either appear individually or all at once when you click on the thumbnail, depending on the settings you applied under the Customize option we’ve already mentioned.
