> Just dock your iPad in the office

The fact that you can't turn off the iPad screen while it's docked drives me crazy.

You can? As long as you have keyboard/mouse (which the Magic Keyboard qualifies as)

Can you teach me how to do that? Every single Google result (and my own experience) say you can't.

I recently got rid of my M1 iPad Pro, so I can't verify (and you might be right).

I recall: using stage manager, plugging into monitor via USB-C, going into Settings to disable mirroring/enable as external display, ensuring you have a mouse/keyboard connected to the iPad, and then just clicking the iPad screen off with the lock/unlock button.

lmk if that works!
