OneDrive users on iPads can now open multiple files at once. A new update to the iPad version of OneDrive brings multiple window support, allowing users to have multiple files open at once for viewing and editing (via MSPU). The update brings the app to version 11.2.6 and also comes with some bug fixes.

The complete changelog for the app also explains some bug fixes that ship with the update:
