Getting the same message. Started with the latest update a few days ago. So I guess it's a glitch in the current version and hope Apple will solve that soon by issuing another update which fixes that. It's really annoying and makes it quite impossible to use the application at all.


Meanwhile open Pages, go to Pages, Provide Pages Feedback, choose Feedback Type: Bug Report and explain the problem in the Comments box.

I think that's all you can do for now. But it's important for people to report the problem since I don't know how closely Apple is monitoring these Forums.

I'm getting the same for every document I create in Pages 5.2 but only when my documents are located on a LAN-storage. I have a Synology server where I keep my documents. They are not open on multiple machines. It's a real problem as it keeps interfering with the work-flow, getting these alerts almost every 30 seconds and having to click on the non-highlighted response-option of "Save Anyway" (rather than Revert). A slip of a finger and it can wipe out your changes. Really bad design.
