On the iPad Pro, I want to work in split screen mode with two documents FROM THE SAME APP, e.g., i want to have two Numbers Apps open simultaneously, so that i can drag a Spreadsheet from one open document into another open document.
iPad Pro, iOS 13
Welcome to the community.
This only works for Apps that directly support split screen working. To open a second instance of the same App:
I recommend downloading the iPad User Guide for iPadOS within the Apple Books App. It’s free - and will teach you everything you need to know about the new gestures, multi-tasking - and all the cool new features of iPadOS.
I hope this helps - and resolves your questions.
Thank you, your answer was very clear, especially your articulate description about swiping up from the bottom edge of the screen in just the right way. I tested it on the Mail app which successfully opened on both the left and right sides of the screen, but unfortunately the Numbers App apparently does not support split screen working.
You appear to be quite correct. To clarify, the current version of the Apple Numbers App (v5.2) doesn’t yet support multiple instances of itself - however, the App does support both split-screen and slide-over modes with other multi-tasking Apps.
Yes, Numbers does support split-screen with other apps... which led me to a workaround that might be useful: dragging information over to a Pages document whose dimensions have been set up as a custom size, far larger than a standard letter sized page.
