    If you mean the Mac versions, not until Yosemite is introduced.  If you mean the iOS versions, they should work now if you have the latest update.  This is from Pages for iOS:

    Apple seems to have dropped the ball on this one. It will only work with iCloud when OSX Yosemite launches. So now the closed system (iOS - OSX) is broken. You can use iWork on mac, but it won't sync to iWork on iPad.

    Meanwhile, you can work on iWork for mac and transfer your files via iTunes, but the versions won't sync. Or use iCloud and iWork for iOS, and wait for Yosemite in order to use iWork for mac.

    Or turn off iCloud Drive for now on your iOS device(s) until Yosemite launches. You'll be able to save/access files in iCloud from iOS or OS X.

    Thanks I determined the same thing after spending too much time with a major screw up by Apple. I fear they may turn into a Mocrosoft. Remember all the junk platforms, then fixes, (patches), with the infamous removal tools, then constant up-dates. All I want is my I phone and Mac Air to do what they say it will. Thanks again

    thanks your dead on. Screwed around a lot to conclude same thing, Apple messed up. My Air and my  Iphone 5S simply won't sync, Pages, numbers , or keynotes if I were to try, what little I put on the cloud. Would like more on cloud, but not sure it is secure. Suppose could have avoided if said not now to drive but I was attarcted to the features.
