it was much easier before this new update. some apps (when i go to add another window) only put the exact same app on and others dont have that option. I prefer the old method before this new update. The only way is to open the apps you want before hand and drag them. That is more complicated than the old iOS18

Original Title: How do you add another app for multitasking.
iPad Air, iPadOS 26
You are not the first to make observations concerning differences and changes in iPadOS multitasking - and certainly won’t be the last.
iPadOS multitasking has received a significant makeover from that to which you may be accustomed in iPadOS 18.x and earlier - and may take a little time to learn and adjust your workflows. You would be well advised to review the official iPadOS User Guide and the many available online tutorials (such as YouTube) to become better acquainted with the new multitasking interface and associated gestures and controls.
