In Photos, you can now edit locations, batch change descriptions, sort albums by date or title, and take editing to the next level with third-party editing extensions from your favorite developers.Įl Capitan features an all-new Notes app that lets you drag and drop photos, PDFs, videos and other files into a note, and add content directly from other apps, such as Safari web links or Maps locations, using the Share menu.
You can also swipe to delete messages, just like in iOS, and juggle multiple emails while Mail is in full screen. Mail introduces Smart Suggestions, which recognizes names or events in a Mail message and prompts you to add them to your contacts or calendar with a single click. Safari® now features Pinned Sites to keep your favorite websites open and active and a new mute button to quickly silence browser audio from any tab. OS X built-in apps are even better in El Capitan. You can resize the Spotlight window to display more results or move it anywhere on your desktop. Simply type “email from Harrison in April” or “presentation I worked on yesterday” and Spotlight will help you find exactly what you are looking for. You can also search with Spotlight to find a file using natural language. You can now use Spotlight to check stock prices, weather conditions and forecasts, sports scores, schedules and standings, and even athlete information. Spotlight gets even smarter in El Capitan. And the new Split View feature automatically positions two app windows side-by-side in full screen so you can work with both apps without distraction. When your desktop gets crowded, simply drag a window to the top of your screen to create a new Space and spread out your work. With a single swipe, Mission Control arranges all your windows in a single layer so you can find the window you need even faster. A streamlined Mission Control® makes it easier to see and organize everything you have open on your Mac.

“El Capitan refines the Mac experience and improves performance in a lot of little ways that make a very big difference.
“People love using their Macs, and one of the biggest reasons is the power and ease-of-use of OS X,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. El Capitan builds on the groundbreaking features and beautiful design of OS X Yosemite, refining the Mac experience with updates to window management, built-in apps and Spotlight® search, and performance improvements to make everyday activities - like launching and switching apps, opening PDFs and accessing email - faster and more responsive.
