Plug it into a USB-C dock and plug a USB mouse in. You can tap the lock screen code in that way, or you can type with a USB keyboard.

Note: iPads only support USB-C displays that operate in "DisplayPort over USBC" mode, not "HDMI over USBC" mode (which requires more active circuitry), so only some USBC monitors will work. If you're worried, I suggest grabbing a DisplayPort-to-USBC dongle and plug it into the iPad that way.

Brilliant, thank you so much.

And thank you HN. You’ve helped salvage an artist’s work. Hopefully procreate will back up their art to iCloud one day.

One of the features discussed in the keynote for this new app's announcement is that they are adding iCloud syncing as an option, and that all relevant new features coming to Procreate Dreams will also be added to Procreate. To me that sounds like there's a good chance they'll add iCloud sync to Procreate soon!
