How Arc concepts map
Arc Spaces -> Edge Workspaces (each opens as its own window). Arc Split View -> Split Screen. Arc Profiles -> Edge profiles. Arc Favorites -> pinned tabs or favorites bar.
Watch out for
Workspaces open as separate windows rather than swipeable Spaces. Newer Workspaces no longer support sharing/collaboration.
