Remove options bar when typing in Pages app on iPad

I’m trying to figure out how to remove the circled options bar, or move it, or minimize it, whatever. It’s really obnoxious when trying to type and edit on my iPad. Thanks, everyone!

It looks like your options are to 1) tap the left most keyboard icon on that panel and choose Minimize which parks it in the lower right corner of your screen until you need it again (tap), or 2) click the right-most toolbar icon to toggle Edit status.
