How do I get a tab on multitasking to stay. Meaning with the little arrow?

I was using good notes app and my files app at the same time. But I cloud slide over my files app and open it back up just by sliding the arrow. Well I messed it up and I can’t get the arrow back. When I try to use side bar, it pops up so I have both apps open right, so then I try to slide over the files app and it completely goes away instead of the little arrow.

From your description, I believe you are trying to open a slide-over multitasking view in preference to side-by-side split view. Key to accessing and controlling multi-tasking, including switching between multitasking views, is the small “three-dot” button that is found at the top-centre edge of the visible App windows.
