+## What it is
+
+Tiling Shell is a GNOME Shell extension that arranges windows into layouts: columns, halves or any grid of tiles you draw yourself. New windows can fill the next free tile automatically, you can drag a window into a tile while holding <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>, and you switch layouts from an icon in the top bar. Unlike a tiling window manager, it adds to GNOME rather than replacing it, so the rest of the desktop works as usual.
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Made for wide screens.** Three columns put an ultrawide monitor to good use, and simpler layouts suit a laptop.
+- **Keyboard control.** <kbd>Super</kbd> and the arrow keys move windows between tiles.
+- **Your own layouts.** Draw new ones in the layout editor, with no config files.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+CoreDesktop installs Tiling Shell from extensions.gnome.org with gext, turns it on, and loads its settings from `gnome/gnome-settings.dconf`: new windows tile automatically, window borders are off, and there are three layouts, three columns, two halves and one full-screen tile. Hold <kbd>Super</kbd> and use the arrow keys to move windows between tiles. See [tiling](/system/#tiling) on the System page.
+
+To change the layout, use the tiling icon in the top right of your screen. `update` keeps the extension current and reapplies CoreDesktop's settings only when CoreDesktop changes them.
