Pages not saving recent documents. After saving my document in Pages, MacBook Pro 26.2, I find they do not show on reopening them in recents.

Pages for Mac It seems that no matter how many times I save a document, it doesn't seem to save all prior changes. What am I doing wrong? I'm working too hard to lose my work.

Pages for Mac No Longer Displaying Recent Docs Hi there. I'm running MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1 and Pages 14.2, and noticed a minor--but annoying--change in behavior. Since switching to Mac, when I CTRL-click on the Pages icon, I was shown a list of my ten or so most recently modified documents. In the last two weeks, I've noticed that list was shrinking. Today it's nonexistent. This isn't a huge issue, but I work on multiple documents within a week, and having quick access just made Pages work smoother. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you!

The Pages Recents are a per-version association. Documents saved in Pages v14.4 or v14.5 will not show up as recents in Pages v15.1. Only those documents saved in v15.1 will begin to appear in its Recents, and conversely, not in Pages v14.4 or v14.5 Recents.
