Hi. Correct me if I got it all wrong as al this is n,ew to me.
I have documents in pages saved to the iCloud.this is where I’m getting mixed up on how to get to open one of the pages document that is saved to the cloud.
This is what I do open the pages icon on the dock,then it opens up the cloud folder and in there is a folder named pages.
Is that the correct procedure to access documents in pages.
Am I correct or is another method?.
Thanks.

As long as you are getting to the documents that you are saving to the Cloud, it doesn't matter how you get there. :)

But you can also access the files by going to Finder->iCloud Drive->Pages and double-click on the files you want to open as well.

If you choose to only have them stored in iCloud drive I'd go with opening iCloud drive from the Finder window. That's how I do it. This also assumes you have iCloud drive displayed in the Finder window in Finder sidebar preferences. Don't forget you can also open "Recent" from the Pages tool bar menu, bit of a shortcut if it's the last thing you worked on.

Surprise, Surprise...??? Hmmm... I was led to believe it rains in Wales almost every day. :Smirk:

My wife and her friend many years ago did a pony trecking trip in Wales, and it was by far the worst adventure she/they ever did. Neither are horsy type people that didn't help.
But,I believe it can be a beautiful place — if and when the sun shines.


PS: Just thought and I seldom use it, but can one set up an alias to ones iCloud, and just leave its icon on the desktop or somewhere handy???
Sort of like one could do with filesharing.
