I am looking into getting a new computer for school. I want to know if I open the same document on an ipad and in the MacBook Air, if I can edit them on both devices at the same time. For example making written notes on a PowerPoint in the IPad and typing notes on the same PowerPoint going back and forth. I want to know if they will update the document in close to real time and if I can use both to edit the document at the same time.
iPad Air 3 Wi-Fi
You mentioned PowerPoint and that tells me that you work in the MS Office environment. Note that MS Office products are not capable of working with the MacOS and iPadOS Handoff feature. The only you can accomplish what you want is using iCloud Drive as the common medium however you would have to save the file on one device and then open it back up on the other. But, this is not what you wanted. What you want is being able to work on a MS Office document simultaneously on your MacBook Air and on your iPad.
You can easily do this by using OneDrive and Office 365. Once activated then you can use all MS Office document products at the same time and by multiple users as well.

OneDrive is part of MS OFFICE 365. Yes the entire suite is available for macOS. You will need to inquire and purchase from the Microsoft web site here ➔ https://www.office.com

To follow up with your response, can I get Onedrive or MS Office on the apple devices then to be able to work on a document simultaneously?
