# Switching Between Control and Observe Modes

Each control session can be switched to a single-client observe session, in which the controlled computer no longer takes mouse and keyboard input from the administrator computer. This allows you to easily give control over to a user at the client computer keyboard, or place the screen under observation without accidentally affecting the client computer.

See Observing a Single Computer for more information on Apple Remote Desktop observe mode.

1. Control a client computer.

   See Controlling Apple Remote Desktop Clients or Controlling VNC Servers for detailed information
