The Home screen
When you start your tablet, or wake it from power saving, it will display
the
Home screen. This screen gives you quick access to apps
("applications"), widgets, and folders. See Adding apps to a Home
screen on page 15 .
Widgets provide special functions, quick shortcuts to a certain app
features, or serve as small apps that display constantly-updated
information (like the time and weather). Some have been pre-installed
on your tablet, while others may be downloaded from
Google Play .
See Adding widgets to a Home screen on page 16 .
Folders are groups of apps that occupy one space on a Home screen.
See Adding folders to a Home screen on page 16 .
The extended Home screen
You can extend the Home screen to give you more room to add
widgets or organize shortcuts. To do so, you must add an app or
widget.
