The key to operating the iPad window! Let's master "Split View" and "Slide Over" --iPad PC conversion course

Frequently used apps are displayed on the left side of the Dock, and recently used apps are displayed on the right side.

Split display of two apps

Once you understand the basics of the Dock, let's start with the "Split View". Like "Split", this is a feature that splits the iPad screen to display two apps. To make it a Split View, just hold down the second app from the Dock and drag it to the left or right of the screen while the app is open. When the two screens are displayed, drag the dividing line in the middle left or right to adjust the display area. With Split View, for example, you can write an email while displaying a photo, create a presentation material with "Keynote" while looking at "Safari", or take a note in "Note" while looking up the location with "Map". You can do such things much easier. You can also drag and drop files between the two apps.

The app you want to use a little is Slide Over

Next is about Slide Over. This is a function to display another app on a long and narrow screen in front of the open app. To display it, simply press and hold the second app from the Dock with the app open and drag it to the screen. It is not enough to display it all the time like SplitView, but it is convenient to use when you want to refer to another application. It is also possible to display the third app with Slide Over when two screens are open in Split View.

2 screen display even with the same app

I've seen how to operate Split View and Slide Over, but how was it? The operation is a little complicated, so you need to get used to it, but if you remember it, you can significantly improve the work efficiency, so let's use it positively (By the way, both functions are iPad Pro, iPad 5th generation or later, iPad Air 2 After that, it can be used only on iPad mini 4 or later).

It is the same that you can display multiple apps and drag and drop data between apps, but there are advantages and disadvantages. Since Slide Over displays the application as a window, the disadvantage is that part of the application that is displayed in full screen cannot be seen. However, you can easily switch between apps using the bar at the bottom of the window. On the other hand, Split View has a bottleneck that it is a little difficult to switch apps and some apps do not support it, but the two screens are not hidden and you can flexibly change the size and work. I can do it. Let's use it properly depending on what kind of work you usually do.

As an advanced technique for Split View, you should know how to display the same app on two screens with the "File" app and the iWork apps of Keynote, Numbers, and Pages. For example, you can open two documents in Numbers and copy and paste the graph. Also, although it is not surprisingly known, Safari can also display two screens in Split View.
