pages icloud sync

Hi all, I have a pages doc that was shared with me. The document says Shared (Offline) which is preventing me from doing anything with it including closing it / deleting it, which is what I'm trying to do. This is also preventing me from closing Pages which in turn is preventing me from downloading software updates. Any tips gratefully received, thank you all.

MacBook Air 11", macOS 10.15

Hi there, libbyja71.


I see that someone shared a Pages document with you, but you're unable to open it. It says it was shared (offline) and now you can't close it or use your Mac. I'm glad to help with this.
