Microsoft Office Insider version supports the new multi-window on iPadOS 13

Microsoft today launched a new Office Insider Build 2.37 (20042706) for iOS users. This update brings a new multitasking experience for iPad users.

Now you can use Word or PowerPoint on the iPad to open two documents or slides at the same time, to experience the efficient and intuitive experience brought by the large screen device.

You can use this function in the following ways:

  • Touch, hold, and drag a document from the Files list within the app to open it side-by-side.
  • In Word or PowerPoint, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and open the dock. Then touch and hold the second app and drag it off the dock to the left or right edge of the screen. Then tap the document to open.
  • In Word or PowerPoint, access the Recent, Shared, and Open views in the app start screen, tap the “” menu in the file list, then tap Open in New Window.

Currently, you can download this version from the Apple TestFlight app and then use this feature.
