How to use Sidecar with an iPad and a Mac

For those of us who could upgrade to MacOS 10.15 Catalina and have a newer Mac, we have the option to extend our display on to an iPad.

The feature (named Sidecar) is easy to set up, implement, and use.

Here’s how:

• Put your iPad on the right or left of your Mac.
• At the top of the screen is an Airplay icon.
• Click on the icon and select the name of the iPad you wish to use.

If you don’t see an Airplay icon:

• Open a Finder window.
• Click and hold down the green icon (upper-left)
• A new drop-down menu appears.
• Click on the Move to your iPad option.
• Sidecar should begin working.
