Pages for Mac No Longer Displaying Recent Docs

I'm running macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 and when I click file/open recent it is empty. Only thing it shows is "clear menu" - which there is nothing to clear. This is driving me crazy as I work on multiple files a day and it takes so much extra time to open them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.5

First of all, visit System Settings > General > Software Update and get that Mac updated to the current Sequoia v15.3.2. It is very important to stay current with your operating system updates. Then also ensure that you are using Pages v14.3 which is currently in the Mac App Store.


Next, in System Settings > Control Center panel, scroll to the bottom and set Recent documents, applications, and servers to 10 (or more than None). As you open, save, and close Pages documents from this point forward, they will appear in that Open Recents panel with the last accessed document showing as the topmost item in that stack.
