I am forever closing thumbnails with Pages. Many larger documents open with Thumbnails, then I have to turn them off. If I open another app, then Return to Pages, again thumbnails are showing. It is so annoying, especially on my preferred iPad-Mini portrait view.

Hello jimpeggy,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. Try the following which is from Quick navigation in Pages on iPad - Apple Support and should be helpful.
1. Do one of the following to show page thumbnails:
• Swipe right from the left side of the screen.
• Tapat the top of the screen, turn on Page Thumbnails, then tap the document to close the view.
2. To hide page thumbnails, swipe left across the thumbnails.
In Page Thumbnails view, you can rearrange sections in a word-processing document or rearrange pages in a page layout document. See Rearrange pages or sections in Pages on iPad.
If you are taking those steps and the same continues, it may be best to reach out to Apple Support from Get Support.
Take care.
I am constantly turning off Thumbnails, but they come back the next time that I open the document.
