Tip: If you don’t see your iPad in the AirPlay menu, make sure it has Wi-Fi or
Bluetooth turned on. You also need to be signed in with the same Apple ID on both
devices.
Wired or wireless. Connect your iPad with a cable and keep it charged, or use it
wirelessly within ten meters of your Mac.
Extend your desktop. When you connect your iPad, it automatically becomes an
extension of your Mac desktop. To get started, just drag your apps and documents onto
your iPad.
Mirror your desktop. To show your Mac screen on both devices, open the AirPlay menu
in Control Center and select “Mirror Built-in Retina Display.” To extend your desktop
again, open the AirPlay menu and choose “Use As Separate Display.”
Use Apple Pencil. Precisely draw and create in your favorite pro apps. Just drag the
window from your Mac to your iPad and start using Apple Pencil. Or use Apple Pencil to
mark up PDFs, screenshots, and images. To learn more, see
.
Note: Pressure and tilt for Apple Pencil only work in apps with advanced stylus support.
Take advantage of sidebar shortcuts. Use the sidebar on your iPad to quickly reach
commonly used buttons and controls. Tap the buttons to undo actions, use keyboard
shortcuts, and display or hide the menu bar, Dock, and keyboard.
Use Touch Bar controls—with or without a Touch Bar. For apps that have Touch Bar
support, the controls appear at the bottom of the iPad display, whether or not your Mac
has a Touch Bar.
Set preferences. To set Sidecar preferences, open System Preferences, then click
Sidecar. Or choose Sidecar Preferences from the AirPlay menu in Control Center. You can
specify which device to connect to, change the location of the sidebar and Touch Bar on
your iPad, and enable double-tap with Apple Pencil to quickly access tools.
