If I save a Pages file, in Big Sur, will I be able to open it with Pages, under Catalina? My iMac cannot be upgraded to Big Sur, so I'm wondering if I'm better off keeping Catalina on my MacBook Air, rather than upgrading to Big Sur (my iMac is from 2012, and my MacBook Air is from 2017).
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
The current version of Pages (v10.3.9) is installable on Big Sur and Catalina, so your document interchange capability should not be an issue. I upgraded a 2014 MacBook Air from Catalina to Big Sur (now 11.2) and neither had an issue with that upgrade nor regretted it since. If Catalina is working fine for you on your 2017 Air, you do not have to upgrade to Big Sur at this time.

Thanks for the answer, that's good to hear. However, since I worry about them changing Pages in the future, so document interchange is incompatible, I think I'm just going to stay with Catalina on my Air, at least until I plan on getting a new Mac in a few years. Again, thanks.
Pages, using two different OS versions.
