> the second developer beta of the upcoming iPadOS 26.1 adds Slide Over support back into the operating system
> The new version of Slide Over isn't quite the same as the old one; only one app can be in Slide Over mode at a time, whereas the old version would let you switch between apps in the Slide Over interface. But the new Slide Over window can be repositioned and resized, just like other windows in iPadOS 26.
For the record, I updated the title of this submission to the current: "Newest beta backtracks on an iPadOS multitasking decision (SlideOver added back)". This seemed helpful as the original looked very clickbaity: "Newest developer beta backtracks on one iPadOS 26 multitasking decision".
