Shortcuts in the Multiple Screen Observe Window
You can access several Apple Remote Desktop commands using icons in the observe
window. You can customize the observe window with the commands that are most
useful to you. For example, you may want to access the Copy Items command, the
Text Chat command, and the Lock Screen command, using the buttons in the observe
window toolbar. You perform Remote Desktop tasks on any computer by selecting
its screen and choosing a task from the Remote Desktop menus or the observe
window toolbar.
Regardless of your toolbar customizations, you’ll be able to advance through pages

screens per page, change the number of seconds before paging, or change the color
depth of the observed screens.
