Hi JamesArmistead, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.
I wonder if the boxes you are referring to are multiple windows also referred to as 'Shelf' which is included in the Multitasking features of iPadOS as per the following link:

Here is the relevant paragraph in the link which may help resolve your issue:
Use the shelf on your iPad
When you switch to an app that has multiple windows open, the bottom of your iPad screen shows a shelf containing thumbnails of all the app's windows.
Tap one of the thumbnails to open the window. You can also swipe up on a thumbnail in the shelf to close that window. In some apps, you can also open a new window by tapping New Window in the shelf.
You can also contact Apple Support as follows:
