When I am in Mail and click on an item it opens a small side screen

When I am in mail and click on an item to go to It’s all of a sudden started to open a small side screen. I hate it. How do I get it to change back to the old way. You can’t hardly see on it. Bad change

You have clearly managed to enable a Slide Over view - this being a major multitasking feature of iPadOS, fully detailed in the iPad User Guide for iPadOS. 


Here is the easy way to change the Slide Over view, to full screen... Identify the small grey drag-bar at top-centre of the Slide Over window. Touch-and-drag the drag-bar to the top-centre of the screen - and lift your finger; the Slide Over window will transform into a full screen view.


Here are links to both the online and downloadable versions of the User Guide:

You may also find these Apple’s YouTube videos to be helpful in understanding basic operation of the Slide Over and Split View features of iPadOS:
