On your Mac, do any of the following:

  1. Drag the app window you want to move to the edge of the screen. After a moment, the window moves to the next space.

  2. Go to the space that has the window you want to move, enter Mission Control, then drag the window up to the space you want to use.

    If you drag the window onto a full screen app in the Spaces bar, you can use the apps in Split View.
