Collaboration overview

You can collaborate with others in real time by sharing a link to your Pages document. Since shared documents and any changes to them are saved in iCloud, people working in the document can see the changes as they’re made.

As the owner of the document, you control who has access to it, and what they can do:

You can change access and permission settings or stop sharing a document at any time.

iCloud requirements

To invite others to collaborate on a document, you must be signed in to iCloud and have iCloud Drive turned on.

If you invite only specific people to collaborate on your document, they must be signed in to iCloud to view or edit the document. If you invite someone using an email address or phone number that isn’t associated with their Apple ID, the person won’t be able to accept the invitation until they add the email address or phone number to their Apple ID. Instructions are provided when they click the link in the invitation.

Minimum system requirements

To view or edit a shared document, people you share with need any of the following:

Anyone with an Android device, or an iOS device without iOS 10 and Pages 3.0 or later, can view the document but not edit it.

Note: Not all Pages features are available for a document that’s shared. See this Apple Support article for information.
