You can create widget stacks by drawing and putting one widget on another one and then swipe through to check them. You will notice new widget of Mail, Find My, Contacts, App Store and more.
App Library
App Library is a new feature coming in iPadOS. Those who don’t know, Apple Library allow you to combine different installed app into categories like Utilities, Games, Office, etc. On your iPad, the App Library will be available right on the Dock. You can also change the order of iPad Home screen pages or even hide them.
Safari
In this new iPadOS 15 update, iPad Safari is very much like the Safari in macOS now. It got new tabs design to browse through more pages easily. You can create a tabs group and give it a name, Share them with your friends and family or even sync them across Mac and iPhone and that allows you to start the work on another device from the point where you left. Not only that you can add extensions in the Safari browsers which will be available in the App Store.

To organize your notes, you can tag notes and that will help you to categories the notes and find them more quickly from a list.
