Checking out Dock icons and their menus

The Dock appears at the bottom of your screen by default, providing quick access to your most-used apps, documents, and folders.
Some users prefer to have the Dock located on the left or right side of the screen instead of at the bottom. You see how to relocate your Dock (and more) in the coming pages.
Folder icons on the Dock are called stacks, which display their contents as your choice of a fan, a grid, or a list when clicked.
Other icons on the Dock open an app or document with one click.
The Dock is your friend. It’s a great place to put files, folders, and apps you use a lot so that they’re always just one click away.
