It opens duplicate documents no matter which device I open them with, Mac, iPad, iPhone does not matter. These are not collaborations with other users, just me.

Hello Kaotishe,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that Pages is opening duplicate documents on your Mac. I'll do what I can to help.


Here are some suggestions:


Kind regards.

Kaotishe,


If you're opening them on other devices, that means these are being used with iCloud.


On the iCloud website from a browser, locate these same documents from iCloud Drive: Use iCloud Drive with Pages on Mac


If they duplicate, try closing the document and deleting the duplicate, then opening again to see if the deleting syncs.


Also, if possible, try opening the documents on another network to see if the same thing happens.


If you still have issues, reach out to Apple directly: Contact Apple Support


Take care.
