Customizing Your Launchpad
Launchpad is configurable, just like home screens on i-devices. As you’re about to see, you can rearrange app icons on a page, move them from one page to another, organize them in folders, and delete them. Say it all together now: “Just like on i-devices.”
For those who are unfamiliar with iOS or devices that run it, here’s how these things work on your Mac:
To rearrange app icons: Click and drag the app to its new location.
To move apps to the next or previous page: Click and drag the app to the left or right edge of the screen. When the next page of apps appears, drag the app to its new location on that page.
To add an app to your Dock: Click and drag the app onto the left side of the Dock.
To create a folder for apps: Drag one app’s icon on top of another app’s icon to create a folder.
To add an app to a folder: Drag the app onto that folder to add it.
