ipadOS markup–can you move PDF page "scrollbar" to the left?

I'm using markup (ipadOS 14.7) with the Pencil 2 to annotate documents. Generally, this works great. But for long documents, the page "scrollbar" appears on the right side of the page and as a right-handed user, my hand is constantly changing pages when I put my hand on the iPad to write with the Pencil.


Is there any way to move the markup/PDF page "scrollbar" to the left? or hide it?


iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi

For iPadOS14.x, a simple tap (with a finger) in the main screen area will usually hide the PDF-sidebar that appears to the right of the screen - although the sidebar cannot be hidden in Markup mode.


This behaviour has changed in iPadOS15. The PDF-sidebar has been moved to left of the screen (now causing issues for left-handed users) - and, as a “bonus”, cannot now be hidden at all.
