Full screen on ipad
As of today, for some reason I am struggling to get a full screen on my ipad to view files and foldersd. I used to be able to click off the left hand side search column but now I can’t click it off. Any ideas as to how to do this.
SOLVED!!! To make the document full screen, single-tap on the sides or top of the document. In the past a double-tap would do the trick, however, since the update that double-tap is now for magnifying the document.

Good day Christopher.
Thanks for your reply :) I have sent you two example pictures. The first one is of the split page. The second one is of how it looks when I double click on the file that I want to open and that it zooms in, but stays in 'split mode'.
I cant see any other icon/method to make it full screen ( it used to do this automatically when I double clicked on the file I wanted to enlarge ) but it keeps splitting it now, regardless.
Any advice?

I am having the same problem. It started after the most recent update. I can not either make the document come up in Full Screen, or make the file list on the left go away. This is on an iPad with the latest iOS.
