Pages for Mac 5.0: Share a document on iCloud
If you saved your document to iCloud (instead of to your Mac), you can share a link to it with others. Any recipient of the link can open and edit the document from a supported Mac or PC browser, and everyone with a link to the document can see the changes. Collaborators don’t need an iCloud account to view and edit the document.
iCloud keeps your document up to date across your iOS devices, your Mac, and the web, so you and your collaborators always have the latest version.
Share a document link
When a document is saved to iCloud, you can share a link via Mail, Messages, Twitter, and Facebook. To set up the account on your Mac, go to System Preferences and click Internet Accounts.
