To split your screen in Windows, you can use the Snap Assist feature. Simply drag the window to the edge of your screen until you see a transparent overlay appear, then release the mouse. This will snap the window to half the screen. For macOS, hold down the full-screen button in the upper left corner of a window, then choose which side of the screen to snap it to. This action allows you to work on two applications side by side efficiently.
