Note that Citrix apps run on a Windows server, meaning that it is like running a virtual Windows machine. Therefore, we recommend using Windows’ keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl+C instead of Cmd+C to copy selected texts) while using the apps or modify your shortcut settings for the apps. summarizes the major differences between Windows and Mac keyboard shortcuts.

Because the Citrix system is like accessing a remote computer, you cannot use the app until you re-establish your connection. However, the remote session will continue in the background for up to 24 hours. The next time you connect within that 24 hours, your session will open in the same state it was when you lost their connection.

For Mac Users: 

This is done from within the ‘Citrix Viewer’ app, and thus needs to be open first. You may need to launch a stuck/frozen app first to gain access. Click on the Citrix Viewer menu while holding down the Shift key, then choose ‘Sign Out and Quit Citrix Viewer’. This will terminate the remote session on the Citrix environment and quit the Citrix Viewer application.

For Windows Users:

  1. In the Windows system tray, find the Citrix Workspace icon, then right-click and choose ‘Connection Center.’
