When you first open your Chromebook, you'll see several app icons sitting at the bottom of the screen. This area is called the Shelf, and it mimics the Windows taskbar. The Chrome OS Shelf shows which apps are running and provides an easy way to launch apps. To make the Chromebook your own you'll want to add your commonly used apps to the Shelf, and remove the ones you don't use.
This guide will also teach you tips and tricks for how to share content with others from your Chromebook and how to download, run, and manage your applications!
Chromebook is designed to be one of the most feature-rich and user-friendly solutions that allows users the portable functionality of a laptop and tablet running Chrome OS with the ability to run Android apps and Linux desktop apps.
