Hi justwantingtogetworkdone1, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.


If your Mac and iPad are meet the system requirements for Sidecar you can use the iPad as a secondary display through the display settings on the Mac and the following link explains more ab out this:

I always suggest you ensure your iPadOS is up to date with the recent release of iPadOS 15.2.1 and you can check how to do this in the following link:
