This shows up every day and it extremely annoying. I dismiss it because I don't want to upgrade, but that's getting tiring. Is there a way to permanently disable this popup whenever I go to Pages, Numbers or Keynote?
Got a tip for us?

Thanks to another poster who put this up:

Or, you know...
Just install it 😬
The "New version" is just because it's now a Universal app, for Mac and iOS in one. Nothing nefarious about it.

It is not true.
There is a subscription OPTION that the new version can use, mostly enabling AI features. But the new version does everything the old version does, without a subscription.

No idea. I do subscribe to Creator Studio myself, so I presumably wouldn't see them if they were there.

There aren't any adverts. There are notifications if you try to use one of the buttons (that you can remove from your toolbar) that invokes a premium function that tell you that needs a subscription, but that's it.
Yes, just use the new apps. There's absolutely no nagging, and they work perfectly well -- in fact, with more features than before.

Doesn't it include subscription only templates mixed in with non-sub templates?

Which new features?
I'm currently on 14.5 with upgrade notifications disabled, as I assumed there was nothing (free) new in 15. Maybe I'm missing out.
Those saying that the new version has no nagging are incorrect. If you try to use Autofill, the updates obscure the feature for a non-functional 'Magic Fill' which can't be disabled without going through four steps including an ad nag each time it reappears:

Apple Numbers: Magic Fill popup interferes with drag to fill
I don't subscribe to Apple Creator Studio, but I use Numbers, Pages, etc. a lot. In Numbers, I often select one or more cells, and then drag the surrounding selection box (from the yellow dot) to fill adjacent cells. Now, because of Magic Fill, when I select one or more cells to drag the box, a...

I'm sorry. I do not know how/where to do this. I am not too tech savvy. Could you help me out a little bit more as to where to put all this information? Thanks!

Warning:
One must be careful when using terminal. Typing in the wrong thing can cause unwanted results!
That said:
1. Open the terminal app (Utilities folder). Have the terminal window open.
2. Go to reply 2 of this thread
3. Copy the FIRST LINE (the first "command")
4. Paste it into the terminal window
5. Hit the return key.
Now, repeat that for the second line, and then for the third line.
Then, quit terminal.

Correct. The subscription only templates are marked with a little symbol, but they are still mixed with the free ones.

(I'm currently on Sonoma and don't want to update MacOS just yet so this worked well to disable the nag)
To reverse this then - is it this? Just guessing....
defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages TSAEnableUpdateNotifications -bool yes
