    Hi Ian,

     

    The feature is still rolling out. You'll see it soon as a X button in the top left of the preview pane.

Thanks for the response Ian - I'm specifically asking whether the X disappears for you in landscape mode. If so, any other details would be appreciated so that we can investigate, as we haven't been able to reproduce this issue.

The X appears to be present regardless of the orientation now although this definitely wasn't the case initially - it's too obvious to have been missed.

 

Thanks

    Thanks for letting me know! I think it might just be because the feature was still rolling out so you caught the update while the app was running, but anyway I'll definitely keep an eye for this.

    After the recent iOS update to 13.1.1, the "x" is now missing from the preview pane. Again, it is no longer possible to collapse the preview pane in iPad app. Is there a new solution for collapsing the preview pane that I may have overlooked? Thanks!
