The Mission Control is the latest attempt by Apple to enable you to effectively manage the desktop. The veteran users of OS X will recognize features like Exposé, Spaces and Dashboard as the indispensible ones. Apple has now upgraded these features and repackaged them together.
The Mission Control is a latest feature available in the OS X Lion and it combines features like Exposé, Spaces, Dashboard and the full screen apps enabling you to take a look and navigate to anything that is currently active on Mac.
Accessing Mission Control
Mission Control is launched using several ways. Apple has allotted a separate Dock icon for Mission Control and it can be opened directly from there. In case you have removed the icon from the Dock then you can access it by using the dedicated Function key on your keyboard. There is an option to make a three finger swipe gesture also to open it.
As the interface opens, you can see your current screen shrinking to the center of the desktop and all the open applications will be laid out. You can use Exposé, move the applications between desktops, access the Dashboard and create new Desktops using the Mission Control.
Preferences
You can find the preference under the System Preferences. Currently there is a limitation on the amount of customization but it might change with time. You can choose between three options such as Show Dashboard as a space, Automatically arrange spaces based on most recent use and When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application.
