Review document revisions on iPad with a simpler side-by-side workflow
Foldly on iPad is useful when you want the same text-comparison model away from your Mac, but the workflow is slightly different because portrait and landscape support fewer visible columns. That changes how you stage revisions and when you should compare in two passes.

How to do it in Foldly
2
Open the most important revision first
In portrait you get one comparison; in landscape you can add a second when needed.
3
Review the highest-risk differences first
Use the limited columns for the versions most likely to change meaning or final wording.
4
Run a second pass if needed
If you have more than two revisions, swap in the next file after resolving the most important differences.
What changes on iPad
The device matters here because the comparison surface is smaller.
- Portrait always shows two total columns
- Landscape can show two or three total columns
- The best workflow may involve multiple passes
When iPad is the right choice
Use it when mobility matters and the revision set is small or can be staged cleanly. If you need the widest comparison view, Mac remains better.
Example scenario
Mobile revision pass
An editor on iPad reviews a plain-text draft against a revised DOCX export while traveling, then loads a second revision in a follow-up pass.
Outcome: They finish the wording review without waiting to get back to a desktop.
Limits and caveats
- If you need to keep three comparison versions visible at once, Mac is the stronger review environment.
- This page stays useful because the platform constraints change the workflow, not just the title.
Page intent map
This page targets a narrow problem-space query family and is kept indexable only because the task, example, and caveats are materially distinct.
- review document revisions on ipad
- compare text drafts on ipad side by side
FAQ
Can I compare as many files on iPad as on Mac?
No. iPad has stricter column limits, especially in portrait.
Should this page canonicalize to a generic guide?
Not in this first wave, because the platform-specific pane limits materially change the workflow.
