Mission Control shows all of the windows open on the desktop of your Mac, arranged in a single layer so it’s easy to spot the one you need.

Apps that are in full screen or Split View, and desktop spaces you created are shown as thumbnails in the Spaces bar along the top edge of the screen

Enter or leave Mission Control

From a trackpad:

To enter, swipe up using three fingers.

To leave, swipe down.

You can turn off or change the trackpad gesture in Trackpad settings

From a keyboard:

To enter or leave, press the Mission Control key (or use the Control Strip) or press Control-Up Arrow.

You can change the keyboard shortcut in Desktop & Dock settings

If you enter Mission Control on a second display, only the open windows and spaces you’re working with on that display are shown

Show or move all open windows

Press Control-Down Arrow.

If App Exposé is enabled in Trackpad settings, you can also swipe down with three or four fingers.

Copy or move items using Mission Control

If you have many windows or apps open and you need to copy or move items between them or to the desktop, Mission Control can make it easier

Tip

To quickly use two apps in Split View, just drag a window from Mission Control onto the thumbnail of a full-screen app in the Spaces bar,

then click the thumbnail

See open windows and spaces in Mission Control on Mac

3-4 minutes

Select version:

Modifying this control will update this page automatically

When you’re using two or more spaces, you can assign an app (or System Settings) to a specific space so it always opens in that space

On your Mac,

Control-click an app’s icon in the Dock.

You may need to first open the app to show its icon in the Dock

Choose Options,

then choose an option below Assign To.

All Desktops:

The app opens in every space.

This Desktop:

The app opens only in the current space.

If you use the app full screen, it appears in its own space

Desktop on Display [number]:

The app opens in the current space on a specific display

(if more than one display is available)

None:

The app opens in whichever space you’re using at the time

By default, when switching to an app, the desktop automatically switches to a space that has open windows for the app.

For example, if you create a new TextEdit document in Desktop 3, but TextEdit windows are already open in Desktop 2, your new document opens in Desktop 2

To change this setting,

choose Apple menu

> System Settings,

click Desktop & Dock in the sidebar,

go to Mission Control on the right

then turn on/off —>

“When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application”
