Update to Pages 8.1

Running OS Sierra 10.12.6 on Mac Mini and tried to update Pages 7.1 to 8.1 (as I keep getting messages to update when I open Pages) at the App Store. But when I click update all that happens is the spinning ball. Do I need to uninstall Pages 7.1 first, or?

Mac mini 2018 or later

How can I update Pages for High Sierra I have been trying to update my old pages (V 6.3) because I need some features in V.7. I upgraded (after 2 days of effort) to High Sierra, since that appears to be need for V.7. However, before the update, and after the update, when I click on Update in the App Store on the Pages page, the App store just hangs infinitely. I cannot find ANY location that has the older version of Pages. (I am not ready to update further than High Sierra at this moment.) Can anyone help me just get to a download of Pages 7.0 (or 7.1)? Thank you.

Pages Update? HELP! I have an iMac 27"- Late 2013 running Mac OS 10.15.7 Catalina. I know it's old and planned to NOT support many apps. BUT I still need to use it. PAGES is no longer updating since it requires MacOS 12.0 or later. My question is can I reinstall a PREVIOUS Pages to use on my mac? Thanks!

Pages update Hello. I just went to open a Pages document on my iMac and a message says, ‘you need a newer version of Pages to open this document’ I am on Snow Leopard with Pages 08. I’d be really great full for help as none of my work will open!

Pages 8 as well as Numbers 6 & Keynote 9, the only versions available in the Mac App Store, require High Sierra, macOS 10.13.6 or Mojave, macOS 10.14.x. You need to update the OS before you can update the apps.
