Think of overview mode as your war room. You can see all open tasks with a click of the designated key, which is adorned with what looks to be a rectangle and lines. Quickly scroll through what tasks you have open and jump into action. See tasks running that are no longer in use? Close them out and free up space, and also save some battery life.

Master Overview Mode
Snapping two windows side by side works as fluently on Chrome OS as it does on macOS or Windows. This means you can crack open a PDF of class materials on one side of the screen while writing your report on the other. Hit the minimize button to exit the full display mode and hold down your trackpad button. When an arrow appears, click it and the tab will automatically be resized to fit half the screen. Repeat the process on the new tab you want to see and it will snap to the opposite side.

While Chromebooks rely on the internet for a majority of applications, enabling work offline mode will allow you to utilize Google suite apps to bang out spreadsheets, slideshows and notes on the go. When your Chromebook reconnects to the internet, your work is automatically synchronized with the cloud. Jump into your Google Drive settings at http://drive.google.com/drive/settings and enable offline mode. Click Done and you'll be able to work offline as well as sync emails.
