When I use either a display port (dp) to usb-c or hdmi to usb-c to use a Dell monitor with my iPad, it only mirrors my screen. I cannot get the iPad to extend screens to the monitor so I can have a different application open on each screen. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I have iPadOS 16.3.
Any advice on how to fix this is much appreciated!

Presumably you are trying to use the new Stage Manager feature - that effectively provides an extended desktop.
To use Stage Manager with an external monitor, you must update your iPad Pro M2 to iPadOS 16.2 or later. iPadOS 16.3 is current; if you haven’t already updated to this version, you should do so before proceeding.
With your iPad updated, enable Stage Manager:
Settings > Home Screen & Multitasking > Stage Manager > Use Manager on iPad - set to ON
At this point, you will likely see a mirrored display. You need to change a setting to use Stage Manager with your external display:
Settings > Display & Brightness
You should see two monitors listed - your iPad - and your external monitor; tap on the entry for your connected monitor. You should see something like this:
Ensure the Mirror Display is set to OFF - and tap Set.
You may also wish to enjoy the full resolution capability of your iPad Pro 12.9” display:
Settings > Display & Brightness > Display Zoom > select More Space, then Done

Hi Clam_,
Regarding connecting an external display to your iPad, mirroring is expected. The information below found in the article here can clarify: Connect iPad to a display with a cable - Apple Support
"Connect iPad to a display with a cable
With the appropriate cable or adapter, you can connect your iPad to a secondary display, like a computer display, TV, or projector, where you can view the iPad screen."
While it's not possible to extend your iPad display with an external monitor, if you have a Mac you can use your iPad a second display. Find out more information here: Use iPad as a second display for your
