Sonoma 14.4.1 causing issues with Pages, Keynote, and numbers

Since the latest 14.4.1 update none of my devices are opening Pages, Keynotes, or Numbers properly or at all. If a file is opened, I get an error message that says I do not have permission to save. Also, when I attempt to export to PDF I also get an error message about permission issues.

This happens across all my devices that share the same iCloud account (iMac, 2 MacBook pros).

Any help would be appreciated.

Pages No Permission to Save?!? My MacBook Pro just developed a problem with the Pages app. Now when I try to save a Pages document, a warning pops up saying, "The document ___ could not be saved. The file is locked. Do you want to save your changes to it anyway?" Then when I attempt to "Save Anyway," I get another warning popping up that says, "You don't have permission to save the file ______ in the folder ____. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info." Then when I press the "OK" button, the title at the top of the document has this added to it: " -- Not Saved" with a bubble below it that says, "The document could not be autosaved. You don't have permission." Then when I follow their suggestion to Get Info, I can see clearly that in the bottom box, next to my Name, my Privilege is "Read & Write." This is the only Privilege mentioned, not the "Permission to Save." Any idea how I can give myself "permission to save?" (Failing that, from whom do I need to get permission?) Thanks for any help here! P.S. The Pages app works just fine on my iPhone! [Edited by Moderator]

Pages says files are locked, but they aren't. The Pages app on my M1 MacBook Air refuses to save any changes to .pages files, saying "The document “...” could not be saved. The file is locked". This happens with almost all files. These files are not, and never were, locked. I have restarted my device twice and reinstalled the application but that didn't work. What can I do to fix this? Running on macOS Sonoma 14.0.
