Charms, commands, and switching apps
When you swipe in from the different edges of the screen different things happen:
Right edge: Charms
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen to see the
charms. Charms help you do the things you do most
often, like search, share, print, and change settings.
The charms are always available on the right side of your
screen—just swipe in to see them.
Learn about charms later in this section.
Top or bottom edge: App commands
Swipe up from the bottom or down from the top edge of
the screen to see a bar of commands related to where
you are and what you’re doing.
For example, if you’re in an app you’ll see commands for
that app.
Left edge: Switch apps
And finally, swipe in from the left edge of the screen to
switch between open apps. For more info, see the Switch
between apps topic in this guide.
