The Home screen When you start your tablet, or wake it from power saving, it will display the Home screen. This screen gives you quick access to apps ("applications"), widgets, and folders. See Adding apps to a Home screen on page 15. Widgets provide special functions, quick shortcuts to a certain app features, or serve as small apps that display constantly-updated information (like the time and weather). Some have been pre-installed on your tablet, while others may be downloaded from Google Play. See Adding widgets to a Home screen on page 16. Folders are groups of apps that occupy one space on a Home screen. See Adding folders to a Home screen on page 16.
