Here\u2019s how to perform them.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Go_to_the_Home_Screen\"><\/span>Go to the Home Screen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To go to the home screen, which is the app list and search bar in tablet mode, do a long swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Imagine that you\u2019re flinging the current window away.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Show_Pinned_Apps_Shelf_Shortcuts\"><\/span>Show Pinned Apps (Shelf Shortcuts)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In tablet mode, your pinned apps (the apps normally shown on the Shelf) are hidden. You can bring them up with a short swipe up from the bottom of the screen. They always show on the home screen.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"View_All_Open_App_Windows\"><\/span>View All Open App Windows<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To get a zoomed-out look at all the apps and windows that you have open, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold for a second. This is called the \u201cOverview\u201d screen. You might already be familiar with this gesture if you use a modern Android smartphone or iPhone.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Split_the_Screen\"><\/span>Split the Screen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Split-screen (placing two windows side by side) is a great tool for productivity. You can do this by going into the Overview screen (Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold.) and then dragging an app to the left or right side of the screen. The edge of the screen will light up, indicating that you can drop the app to make it take up that half of the screen.<\/p>\n<p>Once the first app is in split-screen, you can tap a second app to fill the other half.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Go_Back_to_Previous_Screen\"><\/span>Go Back to Previous Screen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lastly, to go back to the previous screen, whether that\u2019s the previous page in the browser or going \u201cBack\u201d in an app, swipe in from the left side of the display.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>These gestures make the Chromebook touch-screen experience feel much more natural and fluid. Once you get the hang of them, you\u2019ll be navigating like a breeze.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Master Chrome OS With These Chromebook Keyboard Shortcuts<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
