This is a quick tip tutorial on how to unstack in Procreate version 5.3.5
To undo a stack in Procreate, open a stack you want to undo, select the first artwork, photo, drawing, or file with your finger or Apple Pencil, hold it, drag it, and hover it over the arrow next to the title “Stack” in the upper left corner. This will open your gallery, and you can drop the artwork freely there. To select more than one image, click “Select” in the upper right corner, click on each file to select it one by one, then hold and drag them to the arrow next to the title “Stack.” This will open your gallery again, and you can freely drop the selected images there.
