What is the Visual Organizer and what is it for?

One of the main ways to be more productive when working with your Apple computer is to manage all the windows you have open in the best possible way, and it is that in the end, it is very common to have to be working with several apps at the same time. At the same time, that is why this new function is so important and so useful, since it will allow you to do just that, to work with several windows at the same time in the most comfortable and simple way possible.

This visual organizer is also known as Stage Manager , and as we told you, it has been much more relevant on iPads than on Macs, when in reality it is just as useful on both computers. Once you activate it, now we will tell you how, on the left side of your screen you will see all the sales that you have minimized, so that you can access them whenever you want much more quickly. In addition, it also allows you to be able to place several windows on your computer screen at the same time to work simultaneously on all of them.

How do I activate and use this feature?

To be able to use this visual organizer, you just have to follow a series of steps that are really very simple, and that will allow you to take advantage of all the benefits of this new function that, as we say, has arrived with iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura . Here are the steps you have to follow to activate it.

  1. On your Mac, open System Settings .
  2. Select Desktop and Dock.
  3. Go down the menu that has been displayed, you will see that it says ” Visual organizer “.
  4. Activate it.
  5. If you want to further customize the experience and functionality, click “Customize.”

As you can see, it is really easy to activate it and, once done, you can use it very easily. As we have introduced to you before, this function will provide you with two ways to manage your open windows. The first of these is that all those windows that you have minimized will appear on the left side of the screen, but beware, they won’t always be there, only when you move the cursor over that area, and never when you’re working with a full screen app. You will be able to see how browsing between them is very comfortable and, above all, very intuitive. The second thing , and surely more important and more useful, is the possibility of dragging said windows to the screen, to the desktop after all, to be able to work simultaneously between them. These windows will be able to overlap each other so that you can choose the size that they will have individually. To select them and work with them, all you have to do is click on them and that’s it, of course there is no easier and more convenient way to do it.
