Pages for iMac

Is it possible to install an earlier version of Pages for iMac? I have macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 which is the most up to date possible on my late 2012 iMac. Thanks.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Apple does not provide a user download of past full versions of Pages.


Launch the Mac App Store, signed in with the same Apple ID used to download Pages previously. Press the cmd+0 (zero) to open the Purchased panel. Pages should be there with either an Update button or a cloud symbol. Click what is available, and the first dialog that you receive will tell you the obvious that you need macOS Big Sur to get Pages v11.2. Click OK, and hope that it then offers you a second dialog to get the last compatible version of Pages for Catalina. If it does, you will have Pages v11.1.


If the second paragraph does not get you Pages v11.1, there is no further recourse to get a newer version of Pages for Catalina, and you will need to resort to the version you have, or fallback on using Pages for iCloud, or a version of Pages compatible with your current iOS/iPadOS version.
