Open multiple instance of same pages document? Is it possible to have multiple instances of the same Apple Pages document open on my Mac? *NOT multiple users on different devices or the same user on different devices. The usage scenario sought is having for example two instances of an Apple Pages document open on the same Mac. On one it's to read/refer to notes, while editing the document in another window. I know MS Word offers this but I can't find a way to do it in pages. Does that exist in Apple Pages yet? Yes, it's possible to create another file but this would create additional steps, wasted time, file redundancy, reduced simplicity & focus, etc. That's not what I'm looking for. Just one document seen through two separate windows/instances on the same Mac.

Apple FreeForm lacks basic functionality to link documents within its own ecosystem - Here´s how to fix those links! FreeForm allows users to insert links. I have encountered major issues with two essential types of links that do not function as expected, despite working seamlessly in other Apple applications like Pages and Notes. Links to Pages Documents: For example, the following link does not work in FreeForm: https://www.icloud.com/pages/0ecVpXIwGRfss34sdad21dq2e1 Error Message: I don't have privileges to access this document, or the document has been deleted. Deep Links to Other Apps: Links formatted as type:// are also non-functional. (Despite working in Apple Pages & Apple Notes) As a user who switched to Apple primarily for FreeForm as an alternative to Miro, I find it disappointing that I cannot link to Apple Pages documents or other app links. In contrast, all those links work flawlessly in Apple Pages and Apple Notes, opening the apps with the correct documents or destinations. I have already submitted feedback through the official channels, but I wanted to raise further awareness about this issue. It seems that FreeForm, as a whiteboard app from Apple, lacks basic functionality to link documents within its own ecosystem, which is something that other Apple applications handle effectively. So, what is the solution? You can go through the process of sharing every single document with everyone who has access to this link. Keep in mind that anyone on the internet can access your document if they get their hands on this link. As far as deep links go, I have no solution. If you're also frustrated with the same or similar issues and know a workaround until Apple fixes these problems, please let us know in the comments. Until then, thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to seeing improvements in FreeForm that align with the seamless integration Apple is known for.

Pages is no Word clone, and Apple will not change that. Use the tools that work, and in this case, that would be Word.
