How to master Snap Assist on Windows 11

Windows 11 Snap assist with Layouts.

When you multitask with more than one app on the screen, you know how frustrating and time-consuming it can be to arrange the windows manually. However, Windows 11 comes with Snap Assist, a feature that makes it easy to organize your desktop windows using the mouse, keyboard, and touch to work more efficiently while improving productivity.

The feature isn't new, it's been available since Windows 7, but it only offered the option to snap two windows side by side. On Windows 10, Snap Assist was improved to support up to four snaps. And, on Windows 11, Microsoft is yet again updating the feature with Snap Layouts to add visual guidance to snap windows more easily and Snap Groups to return to previous groups of snapped windows without having to re-snap anything after switching to a different application.
