I have a document I would like to have on my iPad screen . I have scored the internet and. can't find a solution
one video showed that making a short cut would move thev document from the files and folder but the video of the screen looks nothing like the short cut ap on my iPad Air running 26.0
any help is appreciated
iPad Air, iPadOS 26
What exactly do you mean by "placing a a document on your iPad screen"?
The Home Screen, where all your apps are, cannot hold documents directly, only apps and widgets.
Documents are stored in apps, like the Files app, and can be opened in other apps like Pages or Numbers or even the new Preview App.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
You can set up a shortcut yes, to open a specific file in the files app for instance and then place it as a widget on the home screen. Is that what you are trying to do?
Please explain clearly and in as much detail as possible what you are trying to do.
Is this the video you tried? If not, you may want to try it.
