Using the MBP and Pages 15.1.1 I have discovered that when I create a document, I can no longer move it to a desired folder. I click on FILE, MOVE TO, get a pop-up window that says PAGES with the up and down arrows for selecting a destination, but then cannot go on from there. This is making it very difficult to organize my documents.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Are you talking about this dialog:
This is the compressed 'Save As...' dialog which, by default, gives you quick access to common locations (such as your Documents folder, Desktop, etc.).
If you want unfettered access to any folder, click the little icon:
This will expand the dialog to the full Save dialog where you can navigate to any location on disk (that you have permissions to).

In Pages v15.1.1, the File menu still provides a Move To… entry. If you have not yet saved your Pages document, that Move To panel offers the opportunity to rename Untitled.pages to a proper name, choose the Where save destination, and click Save. That also triggers autosave.
Once you have formally saved the document, the Move To where selector will now offer an additional menu item named Other… at its bottom. When you click that, it will open a new Finder Window with more alternatives to where you can now move your document.
After you create a new Pages document, upon your first manual save, you can specify the desired folder location in that panel. Saves a move later in Finder.
In the Finder, you can simply drag the Pages document to the desired folder, or you can right-click on that Pages document; select Copy; then navigate to the destination folder, and by pressing the option key with the right mouse button, select Move from the secondary menu.
You were making this too hard…
Thank you. That was helpful, and it works. But it is Apple that has made this too hard. I typically want to move a document after it’s been saved. Now I have to find the document in Finder, and then drag it at least once. Don’t understand why Move To ha s been neutered.
