how to split screen on chromebook

To split the screen on a Chromebook, open two apps or windows first. Then, drag one app's window to the left or right edge of the screen until a transparent outline appears and let go to snap it in place. Do the same with the second app on the opposite side. This activates split-screen mode allowing multitasking with two apps side by side. Another way is to hover over or click and hold the Maximize/Restore button (the square icon in the upper-right corner of a window), then drag the window to the left or right side. You can also use keyboard shortcuts: press Alt + [ to snap a window to the left side, or Alt + ] to snap it to the right side. Once in split screen, adjust the window sizes by dragging the divider between them. To exit split screen, drag the divider all the way to one side or maximize one window. These methods work for normal Chromebook mode as well as tablet mode with some app-specific differences.
