Here’s how to arrange two apps side-by-side:
1. Open each of the apps you want to use.
2. Open the recently used app list (swipe in from the left edge, and with your finger still on the screen,
move it back toward the left edge).
3. Drag an app from the app list until the current app changes size, then let go of the app.
4. To adjust the size of the apps, drag the bar between the apps.
To add a third app, open the recently used app list again, and drag the third app into position.
If you want to change one of the apps, go to Start or the Apps view and tap or click an app. It’ll appear on top of
the first two apps. Tap or click the left of right side of the screen.
To learn more about using apps together, see
on Windows.com.

Close an app
You don’t need to close apps from the Windows Store. When you switch to another app, Windows leaves the app
running in the background and will close it eventually if you don’t use it.
If you really want to close a Windows Store app, here’s how:
•
Touch. Swipe down from the top edge of the screen, and drag the app down and off the screen.
•
Mouse. M ove the pointer to the top of an app, then click the Close
button in the upper right corner.
To completely stop all processes associated with an app, drag the app to the bottom of the screen, and hold it
there until the app flips over. You can see all open apps and services in Task M anager. (Search for Task Manager
from the Start screen to find this app).
Close desktop apps
It’s still a good idea to close desktop apps, such as Office apps, when you're done using them or before you shut
down Surface. You can close an Office app by tapping or clicking the Close
button in the title bar.
App commands
To see what you can do with a Windows Store app you are using, open app commands. Here’s how:
