Abstract

A method is performed at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices. A first set of one or more windows in an interactive mode, and a representation of a second set of one or more windows in a non-interactive mode are concurrently displayed. While a window is displayed in an interactive mode, the content of the window can be manipulated in response to user inputs. While a representation of a window is displayed in a non-interactive mode, the content of the window is not available to be manipulated in response to user inputs. An input selecting the representation of the second set of one or more windows is detected. In response to detecting the input, the first set of one or more windows in the interactive mode are ceased to be displayed. In response to detecting the input, one or more of the second set of one or more windows are displayed in the interactive mode concurrently with a representation of the first set of one or more windows displayed in a non-interactive mode.
