Recent documents not showing in Pages

In Pages, version 14.2, under File, Open Recent; the menu is blank where it used to chose the last 10 opened documents. I relied on this feature to avoid searching for documents that I was still working on.

Recent Files: Not showing in Numbers - just default files When I open Numbers (Version 14.0 - 7039.0.94) on Sonoma 14.5 I want to be able to see my recent documents as the default tab. As it stands I need to click on the Recent option which is ok to live with. When I do it doesn't show my recent files just the default ones. If I go to the FILE menu then RECENTS it shows all my recent items. I've read that changing system preferences to something other than 10 for recent files will fix it, but it hasn't changed anything. I don't know how to submit a bug to Apple but I doubt they wouild read my bug or change anything by doing so. Any ideas? Do you have the same issue?

Pages for Mac No Longer Displaying Recent Docs Hi there. I'm running MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1 and Pages 14.2, and noticed a minor--but annoying--change in behavior. Since switching to Mac, when I CTRL-click on the Pages icon, I was shown a list of my ten or so most recently modified documents. In the last two weeks, I've noticed that list was shrinking. Today it's nonexistent. This isn't a huge issue, but I work on multiple documents within a week, and having quick access just made Pages work smoother. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you!

Recents in finder on M2 air is empty I am an older person and have managed to restart/add documents to spotlight privacy but my recents folder remains empty in finder. I can find it in word (for word docs, obv!) and it appears as a list when I look at recent items in the apple folder top left..... How can I make it work from finder? In simple language please!

Revisit System Settings > Control Center panel and scroll to the bottom to verify Recent documents, applications, and servers have a numeric value selected. Mine is set to 10.

Are you opening Pages documents on a non-Apple cloud service or external drive that is now not mounted?
