When you play with an Activity you are using the Activity View.  Return to the most recently used Activity that is still running by clicking the Activity View icon at the top left of the Frame (shown below).

You can also use the Activity button for this purpose if your keyboard has one. Use the F4 key if you are using a keyboard that does not have an Activity button.

Use the appropriate Activity icon in the top right of the Frame, from any View, to return to the Activity View for any running Activity.

Sugar Activites always use the full screen. This figure shows the Activity View for the Browse Activity.

1. Activity menus

Activities have one or more menus that appear at the top of the screen.

2. Menu tabs

Click the tabs found just below the Activity menu to switch between the menus for an Activity.

The rest of the screen is used by the Activity itself, in this example, Browse.

All Activities have an Activities menu.

There are buttons for copy and paste. You can also use the keyboard shortcuts ctrl + c andctrl + v for copy and paste respectively. Items you copy end up on the clipboard, which is found in the left edge of the Frame. Items you paste come from the clipboard.

3. Search

Many Activities support search: you can find text within the Activity by entering it into the search box.

On the Edit menu, a pair of buttons allows you to find the next or previous occurrence of the text in the search box.
