How does Split View work?
As the name suggests, a user can use two apps side by side. One can choose a window to work in by clicking anywhere in that window. If one wants to see the menu bar, then simply move the pointer of the top of the screen. Users have the option to swap window positions by dragging a window to the other side. One can switch to other apps or desktop with Mission Control, or use a Multi-Touch gesture such as swiping left or right with four fingers on the trackpad.
