Summary
The ability to use up to three different screens simultaneously is an invaluable resource when multitasking work and personal life. You can shop, complete a paper, edit photos, and watch videos on YouTube. You can also adjust the size of the two screens with the three dots, found in the center of the screen. When done with a screen close it out by sliding the three dots toward the edge of the tablet’s screen.
If you have two screens open and want to use a third but don’t see your edge panel (multi-task bar), you most likely have the “full screen in split-screen” toggled on in your settings. You will need to turn this feature off and the edge panel (multi-task bar) will remain on the side when two screens are being used.
