When using the slide in arrow feature to open multiple apps at the same time. I'm not seeing how to pin an app on top like I could with last year's 10.1. I see how to pin an app on top from Air View but snote nor any type of note taking app is an option. Wow, I hope I'm missing something obvious here.

Samsung has changed multi window behavior after original Note 10.1. There used to be cascading option, you could open few apps and pin them. Now you can only open 2 windows side by side, plus few other ones on top of them. No more pins.

This is bad news for me. I used a Bible app that opens in 2 panes so I put my favorite Bible translation on the left side of the screen. Then I opened sNote and pinned it over the top of the right side of the Bible app and I had a great way to read and take notes at the same time.

Now it looks like I'll have to root my device to allow me to do what my old device still does? I haven't put my old 10.1 on ebay yet!

This is going to determine if I keep my 2014 version as well. I also miss the Pen preset cycling in s-note as well
