Getting to know Spaces

Think of Layer1 Spaces as self-contained workspaces where you can organize your desktop content. Jump in and out your different Layer1 Spaces by using option+tab, the floating icon, or Meta Bar.

To create your first Layer1Space, open the Layer1 Bar and type "create new space from desktop". This will save all your open windows to a custom Layer1 Space. Once your spaces are built, use the "push" and "pull" commands to move things from space to space.
