Notes on iPadOS

iPadOS has a different file system with different limitations than Mac or PC and therefore the main menu behaves differeently to accomidate the functionalty avalaible in iPadOS.
The recent files list is simply called “Files” and lists all of the files in the application sandbox
The “Save As” functionality is similar to “Share”
The “Open” functionality is similar to “Open and Import” where Performance will copy the file into the application sandbox to be able to fully access it. If a file is opened from an external app, it will need to be copied into the Performance sandbox for Performance to fully access it.
