I want to update to the newest version of Pages, 5.6.1, from the 5.5.3 version I have on my MacBook Pro. When I go to the App Store, I only have the option to open 5.6.1, not get it.
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
Search your computer, you probably have both.

Did you click the Updates button on the Toolbar of the OS X App Store application?
I did do this. It says no updates available.
Your answer makes sense and seems like THE answer. I'm relatively new to the Mac and not good about searching files. When I search in Finder, I only come up with one Pages application, which is the old one. Any ideas where the new version might be found and, if found, how to make it the default?
You may already have Pages v5.6.1 installed. Launch Applications : Pages (yellow icon) and from the Pages menu : About Pages. Is this still version 5.5.3?
If you originally installed the older Pages '09 from a DVD, it will be in Applications : iWork '09 folder. If you purchased it from the OS X App Store prior to Fall 2013, it will be provisionally in the Applications folder as Pages (with the blue ink bottle). Any installation of Pages v5 will silently move any non-Pages v5 application into the Applications : iWork '09 folder (or iWork '08 if using Pages '08).
Because you have Pages v5.5.3 installed, the first paragraph has taken place. Pages documents all look for the Application : Pages when you double-click them to open. With Pages v5.5.3 parked in your Applications folder, it will be the default application to launch — unless you left Pages '09 running, whereas it will be the dominant Pages application to intercept double-clicks — until it is quit.
I have Pages version 5.5.3 on my Mac and want to update to 5.6.1. When I go to the App Store, I cannot "get" the new version. My only option is to "open".
