This will allow the person you invited to control your computer. Remember, you can always take back control at any time by clicking the 'Stop Sharing' button.

Step 4: Ending the Session

When you are finished using Remote Assistance, it is important to end the session properly. To do this, click on the 'Disconnect' button. This will end the connection and the person you invited will no longer be able to control your computer. If you want to use Remote Assistance again, you will need to send a new invitation.
