Thanks to a new feature you

00:00:04

can now add other office.

00:00:05

This can be useful if you are working

00:00:08

on several projects for example.

00:00:10

Change desktops to find your

00:00:12

specific already open document to a

00:00:15

project or function and save time.

00:00:17

You can also customize this

00:00:19

view and have a visual clue of

00:00:21

which desktop you have opened.

00:00:26

To set up your second desktop,

00:00:27

go to the taskbar and put your

00:00:29

cursor on the task view icon.

00:00:31

Click on the plus. That will take

00:00:33

you directly to the new desktop.

00:00:35

Remember to always rename it.

00:00:37

To do so, go back to the task

00:00:39

view and left click on the name

00:00:41

and type enter on shutdown.

00:00:43

Opting for another wallpaper is

00:00:45

highly recommended since each

00:00:47

desktop can have a different one.

00:00:49

Be careful though,

00:00:50

a theme will change the

00:00:52

whole Windows user session.

00:00:56

You can now open your document

00:00:58

corresponding to your dedicated

00:00:59

desktop by using the File Explorer

00:01:01

or clicking and dropping from the

00:01:03

main desktop if it's already opened.

00:01:13

Deleting your desktop is possible,

00:01:14

except for the first one.

00:01:16

By clicking on the cross

00:01:18

in the Windows management.

00:01:19

All documents still open on

00:01:21

a closed desktop will be

00:01:22

transferred to the main one.

00:01:26

Adding on the desktop is not a

00:01:28

primary feature, but it can be

00:01:30

very handy in a versatile job

00:01:32

allowing you to be more effective.
