If you can’t find a document in Pages for iCloud
Documents you create using Pages for iCloud appear in the Pages folder in the document manager (and in Recents, if the document was opened recently).
If you set up iCloud on your Mac computers, iOS devices, and iPadOS devices, and save your documents to iCloud Drive, your documents should also appear in the Pages folder in the iCloud document manager. If you don’t see a document, click Browse on the left side of the document manager to see if the document was saved to a different folder.
If you still can’t find a document you saved to iCloud Drive, try the following steps to make sure your computers and devices are set up to sync properly.
If you can’t find a Pages document created on a Mac
Do the following:
Make sure your Mac is connected to the internet.
Make sure you’re using a supported browser.
Verify that iCloud is set up on your computer, and that iCloud Drive is turned on for Pages in your computer’s iCloud settings.
Make sure your Mac has macOS 14.0 or later installed.
Make sure the document isn’t in the process of being uploaded. Open Pages on your Mac, or choose File > Open (from the File menu at the top of your screen) if Pages is already open. If the document has a small iCloud icon or the word waiting next to it, it’s being uploaded. When the upload process is complete, the document should appear in Pages for iCloud.
Make sure you’re saving the document to iCloud Drive. Turn on Pages in iCloud system settings, or when you save a document, choose iCloud Drive as the location. For more information, see the Pages User Guide for Mac (open Pages, then choose Help > Pages Help from the Help menu at the top of your screen).
Make sure the document isn’t an unsupported file type. Currently, Pages for iCloud supports only Pages, Microsoft Word, TXT, Rich Text Format (with a .rtf filename extension), and Rich Text Format Directory (with a .rtfd filename extension) file types.
If you can’t find a Pages document created on an iPhone or iPad
Do the following:
Make sure your device is connected to the internet.

Make sure your iPhone has iOS 17.0 or later installed.
Make sure your iPad has iPadOS 17.0 or later installed.
Verify that iCloud is turned on for the Pages app on each device where you want to access the document. Tap Settings, then Pages, then turn on iCloud.
Make sure the document isn’t in the process of being uploaded. Open the Pages app on your device. If the document appears with an upload pending icon
, it’s being uploaded. When the upload process is complete, the document should appear in Pages for iCloud.Verify that your iCloud password is correct, and that it’s updated on your devices and computers.
Check your remaining iCloud storage space on your device. Tap Settings, tap your name, then tap iCloud.
