Activate Dashboard and the Widgets

Dashboard is built into your Mac—just single-click the Dashboard icon in your Dock to make it appear, or press the F12 key.

If you're using a laptop, you might not have an F12 key, or it might be used for something else. You can change the keyboard shortcut; see page 340.
