Apps make duplicate copies of documents

I see this question asked but see no responses. Why does Pages app and Numbers app make duplicate copies of documents? I was hoping to love my new Ipad Air but this is almost a deal breaker. Surely there must be a setting somewhere to stop this. Please respond somebody.

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

Pages on IPhone not syncing to Pages on Ipad Pages on my IPhone has not synced to Pages on my IPad since Sept 25, 2023. Yes, both devices’ Apple IDs are the same on ICloud. Yes, have toggled “Apps syncing to ICloud Drive” on and off several times on both IPhone and IPad. Have restarted both devices. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Pages on the IPhone. When reinstalled, the same documents appeared, again with none later than Sept 25, 2023. What the hell is the point of the Pages app if it cannot sync between my two devices??? Is this Apple tech amateur hour or what???

Deleting an empty page in Pages app in iPad This should be super easy. Go to thumbnail pages, tap on the empty page, tap delete or cut. But I am encountering an issue (a bug perhaps). When I tap on the empty page, and tap delete, it generates a prompt Remove all content? All content in your document will be removed and replaced with an empty page. Then you tap Cancel or Remove. Regardless of whether I tap remove or click delete on the keyboard, it does delete ALL contents within the entire document instead of just deleting that one single empty page. My iOS is 16.7.2 This is so super annoying. If you can please help. Thank you in advance.

How do I safely delete duplicate documents in Files and Pages apps on iPhone? I am trying to reduce the documents stored on my iPhone. I have noticed that the Files app and the Pages app have exactly the same documents in each, but am worried that if I delete one of the apps, all the docs will disappear from both of them! Can anyone offer a solution, please? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
