Are both of your iPads signed-in to iCloud with the same Apple Account / AppleID?


Verify that you have enabled all services and Apps that you would like to synchronise between your devices...


iPadOS 17.x and earlier

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud


iPadOS 18.x

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud > [Apps Using iCloud] Show All Apps


Explicitly enable all services that you wish to synchronise between devices.
