Using Apps

With all the preamble about the Finder and System Preferences out of the way, this book can now roll up its metaphorical sleeves and discuss how to get in and out of your apps, and some of the mechanics of working within them. This chapter first looks at how to install and update apps (since you can’t launch them if they aren’t installed). It then looks at Launching an app and Finding the Preferences. Switching covers how to move the focus between launched apps.

After that, I offer directions for core features that you might use within an app, including Saving a File, Versioning, Sharing, and Printing. The chapter closes with Quitting.
