I just got a new iPad and am struggling to get my old designs off my old iPad. Can you point me in the right direction?

On your old iPad, save all your designs to Files on iCloud. Then these will be available via Files on your new iPad.

Another option ois to use iTunes to transfer the files from the old iPad to the computer and then transfer the files to the new iPad.
