Pages recent menu vanished

Hi the recent menu in Pages has gone. I've tried everything to get it back. Does anyone have any ideas?


Pages > File > Open Recent > shows Clear Menu ONLY, ever.


Thanks

If you have cleared that open recent Pages menu, then you will need to open and save or close additional documents, before that recents menu will begin to populate. You will also need to confirm that:


System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Menu Bar : Recent documents, applications, and servers is not set to None. The count located there determines how many items appear on the Pages Open Recent sub-menu.


Now is a good time to update to Ventura 13.4 and ensure that you also have Pages v13 installed.


The real Pages Community is here, because posting here won't get as much attention from other Pages users.
