Material Shell is a GNOME extension and that’s the best thing about it. This means that you don’t have to log out and log in to another desktop environment or window manager. You can enable or disable it from within your current session.
Material Shell adds a left panel for quick access. On this panel, you can find the system tray at the bottom and the search and workspaces on the top. All the new apps are added to the current workspace. You can create new workspace and switch to it for organizing your running apps into categories. This is the essential concept of workspace anyway. In Material Shell, every workspace can be visualized as a row with several apps rather than a box with several apps in it.
