Hey alechemist,


It sounds like you're having some trouble with Sidecar. We'll be happy to help out.


As a first step, restart both the MacBook Air and iPad. If that doesn't fix the issue, try toggling Handoff off for both devices, and then back on. The steps to do this are below, but if you'd like more information here's a link: Use Handoff to continue a task on your other devices - Apple Support.
