From its press release for new iPad Pro models today:
Writing and editing text is a breeze in Pages, working with multiple objects in Keynote is easier than ever, and added levels of precision make working with even the largest spreadsheets a snap. Additional new features include gorgeous new templates in Pages and Keynote, giving users a head start on creating beautiful documents and, for the first time in iWork, users can add a drop cap to make a paragraph stand out with a large, decorative first letter.
Apple added that collaboration will also become easier with support for iCloud folder sharing, a feature expected to be available in iPadOS 13.4.

Well, yes.So, I'm assuming this means that developers have to update their apps to be able to take advantage? We'll see how long that takes.
Shouldn't take too long, though. Nadella-era Microsoft is quite happy to make Office on iPad a first-tier platform. They're not quite there yet, but bit by bit.
