That means if that app isn't normally found there, you need to open it, so it shows up temporarily in one of the 'recently used' slots on the right side of the Dock.

If you already have two apps on the screen and want to close one of them, it's easy to get back to the standard one-app view, once you know the trick.
- If the two apps are side-by-side with a divider between them, drag the bar all the way to the right or left. If you drag it to the right, you'll close the app on the right. If you drag it all the way to the left, you'll close the app on the left. In both cases, the app that's left open will go full screen.
- If the second app is floating on top of the main app, tap and hold the top of the floating app, and drag it downward. It'll then snap to the right side of the screen. Now you can close it by dragging the divider. You can also swipe it to the right to close it temporarily — swipe left on the right side of the screen at any time to bring it back.
