User Manual

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 Manager (open the Search charm
and type Task Manager 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 X in the upper-right corner of the app.
App commands
To see what you can do with an app, open app commands. Here’s how:
1. Open an app and then do any of the following:
• Touch. Swipe up from the bottom edge, or down from the
top edge of the screen.
• Mouse or touchpad. Right-click. You can also tap two
fingers anywhere on the touchpad.
• Keyboard. Press +Z.
2. Choose an item on the bar of commands.
App settings and help
• App settings. Open the Settings charm from an app. For example, open the Mail app and then open the
Settings charm—you’ll see settings for the Mail app.
• App help. Open the Settings charm from an app, and look for Help. (If you can't find help in the Settings
charm, check the company's website for help info.)
