Over the next few weeks, we’ll be doing a series of how to articles on how to get the most out of Apple’s newest operating system – Mac OS X 10.10.

When Dashboard first came out, it was an incredibly useful tool when ever you needed to do something.  One just pressed the F12 key, and Dashboard would pop-up over what ever you were doing at the time.

But with each new OS X update, it seemed as though Apple wanted to hide (or even wanted to get rid off) Dashboard by hiding it away into never-never-land.

Fortunately, you can bring back Dashboard to act like the old days just by a few simple clicks.

1.  Go into System Preferences > Mission Control.

2.  Look for the Dashboard section and choose the drop down menu.

3.  Select “AS OVERLAY”

That’s it!
