If you’re like us, you work on more then one thing at a time. That’s why El Capitan’s split screen view is very handy and works like a charm.
There are two ways to activate it. Here’s how:
Here’s the first way:
1. Click and hold the green fullscreen button in the upper left corner of an application window.
2. Release your trackpad or mouse button to put the window on the left side of your screen or drag it over to the right side if you prefer.
3. Click on one of the other app thumbnails that will appear on the opposite side of the screen to open it side by side with your first application.
The second way involves Mission Control:
1. If you are already running an app full-screen, just open Mission Control.
2. Drag the other app you want to the desktop of the first app at the top of the Mission Control screen and drop it.
3. Then click on the desktop at the top of the Mission Control screen that has both apps running on it.
When you are done with Split View, just hit the Escape button or click on the green full-screen button.
Once you have the application windows side by side, you can also resize them so that one app has more screen space than the other.
