Split screen issue

I was using split screen for the first time and accidentally did something to make the second window pop up in front of the first window but smaller. Now I can’t get it back to normal split screen. How should I fix this?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

To transform a Slide Over view, to Split Screen, use the grey drag-bar at the top of the Slide Over Window; drag downwards and to towards the side of the screen. As the view changes, lift your finger. Done.


It’s also worth noting that you can easily change a Slide Over to Full Screen view in a similar way. This time, using the same drag-bar, drag to the top-centre of the screen, then release.
