IPad Pro in Portrait (Vertical) position while using Sidecar?

Can you have the iPad display in a vertical (portrait) position while being used as a second display with Sidecar? I don't see how you can rotate the display. When I engage sidecar the iPad automatically switches to a vertical position.

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell

Hello Trouser Slacksman, 


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! I see you have a question whether you can use your iPad Pro as a vertical (portrait) orientation with Sidecar. 


Sidecar uses the iPad in horizontal (landscape) position. This allows you to mirror your Mac display or extend it. This article will show you the settings which you can use with Sidecar: Use your iPad as a second display for your Mac with Sidecar


If you'd like to submit suggestions about features you'd like to see in Sidecar, head over to the Feedback site: Product Feedback - Apple.


Cheers.
