One of my favorite people to follow on X (formerly Twitter) is Jacob Woolcock. He is such an incredible resource for all things Apple!
For years Jacob has shared amazing Quick Tips videos about iPhone, iPad, and Mac. He has now introduced Jacob's Quick Tips. All of his videos are now in one place, complete with descriptions, icons, metadata, updated thumbnails, and subtitles.
The archive of over 400 videos is fully searchable. You can also filter by device, app, or even ask a question to find the Quick Tips videos.

Stage Manager on Mac
Stage Manager on Mac
A question I get often once people have updated their computers to macOS Ventura or macOS Sonoma is about Stage Manager.
Use Stage Manager to keep the app you're using at the front of your screen. The recently opened windows or currently opened apps will be arranged on the left side of your screen.
*You can adjust the sizing and overlap of windows as well as group apps to have a customized feel.
