How to open a browser window for working in Onshape?

Hello, I am a newbie to Onshape, and going through the learning excercises. It requires me to open a work window in my browser per the instruction
"For the best learning experience, we recommend using two browser windows: one to follow this exercise and the other for working in Onshape."
Is there a short-cut or hotkey to open a window for working in Onshape? I am really struggling to find this?
Sincere thanks in advance for your help..🙏

While viewing the lesson… hold the ctrl key and press N. then type the link S1mon gave in the address bar area. There are no shortcuts because it is assumed by the training that how to work with browser windows is already known. You may need some training on how to use multiple windows/tabs with internet browsers.

Near the top of your browser, press the + button to open a new tab. Then drag that tab over to your other monitor or to the other side of your screen.

You can also use (window key+right arrow) to split the screen, then drag the tab to the other side. It's the same thing that @MichaelPascoe said, just a little different way to get there.
It's built into your browser, not onshape. If you were on facebook in one browser window, and youtube in a second browser window, and had them side by side on your screen (or on 2 screens). That is what the training is suggesting you to do.
Thanks for trying to help!! However, how does one get to the Onshape work area, as required by the excercise? Is there any link provided on the Onshape web site? I didn't find any!!😥
Thank you all for your efforts, but the question still remains. How do you open a working window for Onshape?
