I understand that when using Numbers/Pages - an up-arrow on a document means that the file is still to be uploaded to the cloud, what does a down arrow mean? It seems the document can't be accessed until the arrow clears.
iPad Mini, iOS 8.1.3
I believe what it's supposed to mean is that some changes were made to the document on another device, and those changes were saved back to the cloud. Now you've opened iWork on a different device to access that document - it compares the document you've got locally with the one in the could, sees some recent changes and downloads them.
What gets me is why this sometimes happens even when I've not made any changes to a document from another device.

Thank you very much! I also realized that it did this on the particular occasion because I had used a different iCloud account to sign in and it had wiped clean all my iWorks docs from the device! When I returned to the regular account, the arrows came up because it was retrieving my documents! Thanks so much.
