Looking for Resources on Using iPad Multitasking with VoiceOver

Hi everyone,
I’m totally blind and new to using an iPad. I’m very interested in learning how completely blind users who rely on VoiceOver make use of multitasking features on the iPad, like Split View, Slide Over, and Stage Manager.
Are there any guides, tutorials, or resources (written or audio) that explain how to do this effectively with VoiceOver? A step-by-step guide would be especially helpful.
Thanks in advance for any tips or recommendations!

this is a very interesting time to get into multitasking, ☺️. Your first problem is that, split screen and slide over no longer exist in iPadOS 26, and since it's just been released, there's almost nothing about the new system written. If you look further back on Applevis I wrote up a really rough guide last week.

Hi,
I'm not totally blind, but do rely on Voiceover & am seeking a guide on how the new multitasking system is supposed to work?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I’ll probably hold off on updating to the latest version for now, so I’m specifically interested in how multitasking works on iPadOS 18.
