Can you check if the today panel's widgets allow keyboard input/interaction like Catalina? They removed it for big sur. I was hoping it would make a comeback. Not confident it will happen, but would be a nice surprise.
Got a tip for us?

In the macOS Monterey beta, the new option can be found by opening the System Preferences app, clicking on System Preferences in the menu bar at the top of the screen, and clicking on "Erase All Content and Settings" in the drop-down menu. An administrator password is required to proceed with restoring the Mac to factory settings.
So many quality of life improvements in macOS Monterey. I like it more than Big Sur. AirPlay to Mac and Universal control and Low power mode are my highlights.
Quick video of what it looks like with Menu bar auto-hide turned off in full screen, the window controls are a bit buggy at the moment.
In Split View apps, you can now switch out a tiled window for another one:
There appears to be new UI for crash reports when running on a beta OS:
Would someone be able to replicate this setup in Finder and see if it's fixed in Monterey?

Requires using Finder in Column View with a Shared iCloud folder.
Proof that no one at Apple uses column view + iCloud Drive Shared Folders
When you click on a shared folder in column view Finder adds a new info bar that shifts all of the finder window content down a row mid-click. More often than not you cannot access a shared folder in this view by clicking on the folder. It's madness. To explain the GIF in detail: Foo is a...

I'm so glad they are making Split View more intuitive to use in macOS and in the upcoming iOS. I always felt that even though the gestures were technically quicker once you get the hang of them, it was way too steep of a learning curve, especially if you don't use it regularly.
Now if only split view were a little more flexible.
Half the reason I still prefer two 24” screens (rather than say a single bigger screen) is because it allows for better management of multiple things at once.
You can finally customise the mouse pointer.
while that's amazing... promise those aren't really the colors you selected...

This feature is M1 only as it uses neural engine or what not.
I use ONE 43" 4k display... at 100% scaling.
That allows me to simply use a SPACE and put 2 apps side by side... or 3 ⅓ apps... or 4 ¼ in each corner.
Only Mail and Calendar really live in their own fullscreen windows.
How weird that 2 years ago, dynamic desktops were pushed by apple and now nothing. Guess I’m gonna have to save a copy of Catalinas dynamic desktop as well.
Little tip; keep an archive of all the previous MacOS wallpapers in your iCloud Drive. There's a link somewhere to the incredible deity who posted them all on their Google Photo library, and it's free to access. Someone did a similar job, but went back and up-rezzed all the OS 8 and 9 wallpapers to 5K!

I think they're coming back but the downloads aren't fully working yet.
Does anyone have a screenshot of the pie chart progress bar when copying or moving files in finder? Is it similar to iPadOS 15 new progress pie chart?
What happens when you click it?

Seems to be the case with others. But someone on Reddit in the comments posted a screenshot of the the resume function in this beta.
