Use macOS in Coherence Mode

You can set a macOS virtual machine and macOS to work seamlessly together, as if they were part of a single operating system. In this mode, called Coherence mode, guest macOS applications appear on the host macOS desktop next to your host applications.

To enable the Coherence view mode, Parallels Tools must be installed.
