Show documents turned over and spread out (7)
I believe the answer is:
display
'show' is the definition.
(display can mean to show or expose)
'documents turned over and spread out' is the wordplay.
'documents' becomes 'ID' (identification).
'turned over' says the letters should be written backwards.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'spread out' becomes 'splay' (synonyms).
'id' back-to-front is 'di'.
'di'+'splay'='DISPLAY'
(Other definitions for display that I've seen before include "Put on view" , "Show to the public" , "Showcase" , "Place on show" , "Exhibition" .)
