How to go split-screen on a Chromebook
1. Open your first app and click the window size reducer button in the top-right corner of the window.
2. Drag the window to either side of the screen - you'll see a vertical line pop-up in the center of the screen, at which point you should release the window so it can automatically fit into that half of the screen.
3. Open your second app and click the window size-reducer button in the top-right corner.
4. Drag the window into the other side of the screen and release when you see that side of the screen gray out.
You can always go back to the typical window configuration by clicking the window-expand button in the top-right corner of either app window.
