I have completed a back up, added enough iCloud storage, all apps are updated and software is updated. I also restarted iPad, created new documents and only new documents added can open. I’m not sure what’s the problem. Including my iPhone 11.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 14
The file browser within Numbers, Pages and Keynote Apps will intentionally only allow access to files created by - or compatible with - the corresponding App. Files that are not compatible with the App are shown as a grey “ghost” icon.
If instead you use the full Files App, you’ll be able to browse and access all files and file types.
When using the file browser of each of the core Apple Apps, you may have missed that they are colour coded. This colour keying is intended to provide a visual cue as to which file browser you are using...
Once this distinction is recognised, it should become immediately obvious which of the core Apps (and associated file browser) is being used.
I hope this helps to answer your question.
all files that are greyed out are created with the pages app in my iPad. I am able to open them on Files app however I can’t edit them where I created them which is the Pages app.
Pages app documents greyed out on iPad Pro
