What it does

turn your hand.
Rotates things that can be rotated.
Slide to rearrange
Tap and drag an item to a new location, and
then let go.
Moves an item, just like dragging with a
mouse does.
To learn how to rearrange tiles on Start,
see Customize the Start screen section in
this guide.
Swipe to select
Slide an item a short distance, opposite to
how the page scrolls. (For example, if the
screen scrolls left to right, slide the item up
or down.) A quick, short movement works
best.

Do this at the top or bottom of an app
window to show app commands.
Swipe from edge
Swipe in from the edge of the screen.
