SPLIT VIEW MAC FULL
So if I'm going to do that with Safari selected here you could see that Safari leaves and if I do Control up arrow you could see Notes is now a full screen app. You could also go to View and then Exit Full Screen. Now to exit Split View, if you want to exit and leave one app in full screen mode you can simply go to the top here and then use the green button for either one of these to take that half of Split View out of Split View and leave the other app there in full screen mode. For instance I can continue to browse here on the web and use this side to take notes. Now this mode is excellent for being able to do things like research.

If you ever drag it over to one side a little bit and want to get it exactly in the middle just double click right there and it will jump to the middle.
SPLIT VIEW MAC WINDOWS
So the two windows are going to have to compromise and the amount that you can drag depends on how the windows work. Some apps require that they be exactly half the screen. Now how far I can drag it depends on the apps. I also have this line in the middle and I can drag that to the right or left. It looks a lot like full screen view because if I move my cursor to the top here the Menu appears and to the bottom the Dock appears. Now we can see we have the Safari window to the left side of the screen and the Notes app on the right side of the screen. We're asked to choose another window to be the right side of that screen. So let's select Left of Screen and now we can see that window moves to the left side of the screen. You can also go to Window and select those items here. So what we want to do is move our cursor over to the green button and then wait for the menu to appear and use Tile Window to Left of Screen or Tile Window to Right of Screen. Instead we want to put two of them together in Split View. So let's go back to the situation here where we have these three windows open. So Split View is very similar to the Full Screen view except instead of one app you have exactly two apps. Now in addition to a regular Desktop and a Full Screen app you could also have a third type of desktop which is Split View. To Exit Full Screen mode all you need to do is click the green button here or hover over it and use Exit Full Screen or use View, Exit Full Screen and this will take that window out and then you could see it's now back where it was on Desktop 2. Also the Dock will appear if I move my cursor down to the bottom. But if I move my cursor to the top you could see the Menu Bar appears. If I go into that you could see I don't see a Menu Bar there. Now when I use Control and up arrow you could see I've got my desktops but I also have a desktop here that's just the name of that app. Anyone of those will take that window full screen. I could also hover over it and then use Enter Full Screen or go to View, Enter Full Screen. So, for instance, if we wanted to take Notes full screen I can go into this desktop and I could just click this green button. One is this type where you just have regular windows on a desktop. Now there are three types of desktops that you could have. When I'm viewing a desktop I can use Control left arrow and right arrow to move between them. I can declutter this first desktop by simply moving a window to the second desktop like that. Now you can see I have Desktop 1 and Desktop 2.
SPLIT VIEW MAC PLUS
Now to add another desktop you can just use the Plus button here. On the bottom the selected desktop shows you all the windows and they have been moved apart so you can see them clearly.

You could see you have one desktop here at the top and if you move your cursor over it you could see what it looks like. To access this use Control and then up arrow and this brings up Mission Control. But you can multiple desktops and move some of these windows to other desktops.

I have a Pages window open and I have Notes open. Multiple desktops are sometimes called Spaces or Mission Control.
