Functionality in split screen view

There are many different Split View configurations, depending on your device model, screen orientation and Split View layout. In landscape orientation, the app will either be in a 70%, 50% or 30% view, depending on the location of the divider bar and the side of the screen on which the app is open. There is only one possible divider bar location in portrait orientation.

In some configurations, Boards iOS will switch to Compact View, with more limited functionality and a slightly different layout. These changes include:

  • Only Current Books are available.
  • The markup toolbar is located on the right side of the screen and is not movable.
  • Sign out from page view is not available (but is still available from the Section Menu).
  • The Search and Resume Reading functions are not available.

Boards iOS will display in the Compact View in the following scenarios:

  • Portrait mode All Split View configurations on all devices

  • Landscape mode iPad Air 2 (and similar), 50% view, and 30% view

  • iPad Pro 30% view
