pop up side panel

You need to explore multitasking - as you have a slide-over Safari view enabled. Key to accessing and controlling multi-tasking is the small “three-dot” button that is found at the top-centre edge of individual App windows - including the slide-over view.

More information about using multi-tasking can be found in this support page:

The iPad User Guide is also a rich source of information about using iPad and its many features. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:
