Procreate transfer to iPad 9th gen

Hello! I am getting a new iPad delivered to me soon and was wondering how my artwork from my iPad 6th Gen would be able to get on my iPad 9th Gen. Is it all connected to my Apple ID? Could I set up the new iPad as a new device (no apps or data from last iPad) and still have all my artwork when I download the Procreate app on it again? Thank you!!

iPad, iPadOS 14

These support pages should get you started with setup of your new iPad - and the methods of transferring your data from old to new iPad:

Set up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support


If the donor iPad, from which you are transferring your data precedes iOS12.4, QuickStart will not be available.


“Transfer” is rather a misnomer. In reality, your data and setup is merely cloned to the new device. Nothing is moved or removed from the original device.


An alternative is to restore either an iCloud or iTunes backup to the new device:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support


If instead you intend to set-up new iPad “clean”, you will be able to manually share your existing documents using iCloud or via AirDrop.
