This will probably seem an amazingly uninformed question. I more-or-less stumbled across what I think is the "split screen mode" while working between an Excel spreadsheet and an online display of data, some of which I wanted to copy into Excel using Ctrl-C then Ctrl-V. I was trying to size the windows showing my spreadsheet and the on-line data so that I could work with the two displays side by side. Suddenly (with me not knowing what I inadvertently clicked) the two windows were sized perfectly for what I wanted. I completed the Excel related task and then went looking for what happened. It was a very useful (but unexpected) feature, and I would like to use it with some intelligence in the future. I ended up at what is shown in the screen shot below. I simply do not understand what the guidance is telling me to do. It says "Select Split Screen icon from the address bar to try it." (1) I don't really know all of the nomenclature. I think the address bar is the row at the bottom of my screen shot where all the little icons are. Is this correct? (2) If it is correct, where is the "Split Screen Icon"? What does it look like? When I hover the cursor over each Icon, I find nothing that calls itself "Split Screen Icon.
Generally I am not thought to be a stupid person, but Microsoft's guidance on this communicates almost nothing to me.

On macos I don't even have option to use shortcut for split screen.. I'm comming from Arc Browser and split screen is function I use every day.

I saw this split screen icon had hoped that Edge had added a function that would let us display or not a pane showing our bookmarks. So are we still stuck with just Chrome's drop down Favorites thing and its goofy favorites bar? I lose a big chuck of my screen to the favorites bar and Chrome / Edge's tabs.
