The snap function in Windows 11 has been updated with a system called Snap Layouts providing several grid-based layout options that let you set up your open apps just how you want them. The familiar side-by-side windows layout is joined by new layouts that put windows in stacked configurations, quadrants, and even put a trio of windows together, with either similar window sizing, or a center panel with sidebars perfect for looking at multiple documents, spreadsheets or websites side by side.
To start utilizing these layouts:
- Hover over the Maximize button in application you want to Snap
- You will be presented with multiple layout options
- Select the layout option and were you want the current application to be located within that layout
- You will then be prompted to choose the other application, tab or window that you would like in the next tab. Simply click the option you want
- In this case, I have chosen a side-by-side layout with the Calvert County Public Schools website on the left panel and Notepad on the right
