Remove Pages from Dock

Hello,


I work with Pages quite a lot to write articles, however I'm not sure how to remove existing pages from the list in the Dock - it's inconvenient working this way as the pages I'm not working on anymore are still stuck there. These are all the blurred out in the screenshot. Is there a way to remove them and only keep ones I'm working on?


Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

These are the same items that appear on your Pages > File menu > Open Recent panel. You have some options:

  1. Set your recent items count lower in System Preferences > General to reduce the size of this listing in the Dock
  2. Open Pages and from that Open Recent panel, choose Clear Menu
    1. This does what it says and nothing will appear above New Document… in the Pages Dock icon


The next document you open or create will appear on that Recent Items stack until your opened documents exceed the counter in item 1 above, and then the oldest document is removed from the stack.


This is as good as it gets with Pages v11.2.
