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.
