These teething problems with the new version and with Big Sur are getting tiring.


Can you create, save, and reopen new documents?


What happens when you try to open an older document? Is there an error message? Does the app crash?


Where are the documents stored? iCloud? Regardless, you might try logging out of iCloud and then logging back in. For some people that solves the weirdness.


The usual responses so far are:

  1. Reboot
  2. Log out of iCloud then back in
  3. Delete Numbers then reinstall fresh from App store


Maybe one of these will clear up your problem.
