Pages documents disappearing.

I’ve tried everything people have told me, and this is a book I’ve worked on for months. I turned iCloud Drive on for Pages, turned on airplane mode, turned my device on and off, balanced my storage…

but nothing has seemed to work. I absolutely hate that Pages decides to delete your documents randomly. I just recently deleted some useless pages books, so I didn’t expect for my favorite book to just… disappear.

I’ve never used Pages for schoolwork, but I have used it for work myself. My friends have been waiting for this thing to release for AGES, and I’ve been holding off on writing it.

I finally wanted to write it, and it’s gone.

Hi genzee,


For help with iCloud Drive and Pages documents, check for deleted content using the iCloud website. The steps below found in the guide page here will assist: Recover deleted files on iCloud.com - Apple Support


"Recover files deleted from iCloud Drive or iWork apps

  1. In iCloud Drive on iCloud.com, click Recently Deleted in the bottom-right corner of the window.
  2. Click Recover All, or select each file you want to recover, then click Recover."


If you're sure the iCloud Drive feature was on prior to the document going missing, reach out to Apple Support directly to further assist.
