With the release of macOS Sierra today, Apple also updated its line of iWork apps, including Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. The new update for each app introduces the same real-time collaboration feature, in beta form, brought to the iOS versions of each app last week.

Using real-time collaboration, users are able to edit one document in any iWork app simultaneously, no matter if they're using a Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iCloud.com. Within Pages, Keynote, and Numbers, live updates of each user's cursor and a list of document editors keep everyone up-to-date on the progress of any document, spreadsheet, or presentation.

In Keynote, there's a new "Keynote Live" feature that lets users present a slideshow that anyone can follow from a Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iCloud.com. Pages and Keynote also both feature support for opening and editing Pages and Keynote '05 documents.

Apple's line of iWork apps are free to users who have recently purchased a new Mac or iOS device. Otherwise, each iWork app for Mac is available for $19.99 while each iWork app for iOS is available for $9.99.

As great as real-time collaboration sounds, I wish there were more features than that for a .0 version.

Has anyone found a complete list of new features introduced with this version?

Still waiting for Apple to return critical features deleted in Pages 5.x, and, if they haven't come back yet, hoping Sierra doesn't break Pages 4.3.

Shame Numbers feels like a toy in comparison to Excel. Have they still not added pivot tables?

i would like to see a references tool similar to what has been built into MS Word. With that feature, a lot of students, their parents and schools will no longer have to give additional money to Microsoft on top of what they are already giving to Apple. That is money that can be put into a savings account for rainy days.

Love me some iWork updates.

Hoping a major functionality and speed update is around the corner, particularly for iOS.

Hey this works with ElCap too, it got activated the other day and I was running it fine. Maybe a bit overdue but it's a great feature. Happily able to drop google docs now :D
