I must say that I have used my Apple Pro for several years and I most often used the split screen. Please bring that function back. If a Mac can do it, so should the IPAD pro. Very disappointed will force me into an unwanted lap top but it will not be an Apple..gee thanks guys!
While the previous Slide Over view has [for now] been retired, Split View remains - although it is accessed differently. You can have two or three App windows side-by-side - or a spit the screen into four quadrants.
The button location has changed. Instead of being top-centre of the App window (a location which frequently conflicted with controls for many third-party Apps), the button is now at top-left of App windows that are not being viewed in full screen mode.
For Apps that are being viewed in full screen mode, a simple downward swipe from the top-edge of the screen reveals the new menu bar - where the button is located at the left of the menu bar.
Choose the button that corresponds with layout that you need; the current App window will move aside, allowing you to open another App; the selected view will open the selected Apps in their own windows - which can be resized laterally, as before, by dragging the divider to left or right.
Once understood, controlling App windows using the button is straightforward - and using it will become second nature as you become accustomed to this revised control.
Remember, for iPadOS 26, you have a configuration choice to use Full Screen Apps only, use Windowed Apps, or Stage Manager mode as you prefer:
Settings > Multitasking & Gestures - select your preferred multitasking mode
