You HAVE to be logged into iCloud and turn on iCloud Drive in order to collaborate!

Collaborate on documents in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote - Apple Support

Eight years is an eternity in technology. A LOT has changed in software and hardware.

I am yes - sorry not too tech super aware.

but my MacBook is just not letting me open from files- it’s always says I need to log into I cloud

Not ideal by any means and does this mean now I will face this with other things …. Are apple not being update friendly? It’s not even 8 years old

Are you able to run a more recent version of Numbers on your model of iPad than you can on the MPB?

If so, that may explain the collaboration problem.
