The iPad multitasking workspace

What you can do

Browse files while playing media or reading, with separate places for multiple tasks. Open images, videos, audio and documents from the main space, an unlocked private space, authorized device folders or iCloud folders in the iPad workspace.

How to use it

1. Open a file on iPad to create a playback or reading task.
2. Drag content from the file browser into the multitasking area to add a task, or onto a specific window to replace its content.
3. Switch and control tasks from the task list. Resize the window to let the workspace adapt to the available area.

Before you start

Visible capacity depends on window width and height. Resizing does not actively close existing tasks. Authorized files are prepared on demand; preparation failure keeps the original window, and removing authorization ends access to the original file.
