The window list at the bottom of the screen provides access to all your open windows and applications and lets you quickly minimize and restore them.
The Activities overview is available by clicking the button at the left-hand side of the window list at the bottom.
To access the Activities overview, you can also press the Super key.
At the right-hand side of the window list, GNOME displays a short identifier for the current workspace, such as 1 for the first (top) workspace. In addition, the identifier also displays the total number of available workspaces. To switch to a different workspace, you can click the identifier and select the workspace you want to use from the menu.
