Dynamically updating charts in Pages for iPad

Placing Dynamically Upating Chart in Pages for iPad.


I know Numbers & Pages for MacOS can have updatable charts in Pages. I've seen YT demos of how the MacOS version has a context sensitive Update option when you click on a chart copied from Numbers into a Pages document.


Can that be accomplished with iPadOS versions of Pages & Numbers?

iPad Air, iPadOS 26

There was a MacMost video from 12 years ago that showed how one could dynamically link and update a Numbers '09 chart with the same chart in Pages '09. That demonstration was done on a Mac.


There is no such functionality now between Pages v15.1.1 and Numbers v15.1 on any Mac platform. This is the peril of viewing a video on YouTube and not paying attention to the application versions or date of the video.


Today, one can copy and paste a Numbers chart object into Pages. Any subsequent chart updates are done in Pages.
