When changing to the new ID, there may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. Also set up Family Sharing to keep access to your apps/purchases.

When I log out with the first Apple-Id it says that all the content of ICloud etc will be erased on the IPad.
is this correct?
i need to put the second Apple-Id, because my husband who is in hospital needs the IPad.
Thank you so much for your detailed answer and the links. I understand it and will do this step by step.
it helps me a lot and so I can give the IPad to the hospital staff. Because of the COVID-19 lockdown no one is allowed to go for a visit.
Try it here. I don't usually do so on a machine my wife has two Apple IDs on. Oh, and if you meant on the mini, then no.

I didn't suggest logging out. But, yes, generally speaking that is correct. Sometimes you can log out and log right back in with no problem, but I don't do it. I hope your husband gets well soon.
i appreciate your help in this matter and thank you for your wishes. The COVID-19 makes it more difficult, because no one is allowed to see their relatives when they are in hospital.
You are welcome.
