It’s still there for me.UH-OH -- what happened to the "Section" tab under the "Document" tab? I used this on all my documents to remove the page number from the first page of a document -- why did Apple remove this? It made things so much easier
Before today's update:
Today's update:
It will only show when I open a new document from a Template or open a previously saved document and then, once I begin typing int he document, it disappears and that option is gone
It does not show when I open a new blank document

Oh it IS there... it's just not in the Documents Tab... but in the Format one. If you have no element selected on the page!

You have to click OUTSIDE of the text area... (you can show the layout... to make the borders visible).
Essentially it now behaves like Keynote has always done. If nothing is selected... it shows you the basic options for the page.
As a heavy Keynote and Numbers user... I just did it without thinking.
Tbh I hadn't even noticed that it had moved... and I wouldn't have had you not written about it.
I have to agree... it now IS somewhat hidden.
The older arrangement, DID make sense. There was a button, you press it, you see the option.
Now, in order to see it... you virtually have to UN-press everything, by deselecting stuff.
That IS pretty stupid.
Really the only explanation is, that it is now similar to Numbers and Keynote.
BUT. These are INHERENTLY "layout" documents... where you ADD stuff to show stuff.
A Pages document, by default is not a layout-style document (you have to convert it to that, by removing the body). And most people who just wanna write stuff, would never consider there to be a text box, labeled "body" by default, that spans the entire page, save its margins.
So... um... in the end... Apple made it both better (more consistent) AND worse (more obscure).
If you just go into the App Store and look at the thumbnail for any iWork app - it will say open. Click on the thumbnail and then when the full page for the app opens in the App Store - you will see the Update button.

I noitced that too - I wonder what that means.

Reading through the detailed features notes - Numbers can handle up to 1,000,000 rows and 1,000 columns. That is quite a bit.

Yes, see...Software Updates and click the advanced tab. I assume Apple just rolls these things out over time to prevent server overload. Often it takes a day or so for everyone to be informed and updated.

Yes, if you wait a bit longer, tomorrow maybe, all of us will see the update notice. It's just us informed one who always get the first crack.
8.2 was the version prior to today's release of 10.0
Apple apparently skipped over version 9
Just like with the iPhone
Hitting CMD R brought up the apps to update.. wonder why I have to do this now.
You've always had to do this. App Store only checks for updates once a week (changeable in Terminal).
would it not be safer to store your precious and private documents you create on a SSD or NAND drive locally?
What if the whole internet crashes or goes down?
Cell towers can go down or jammed
You could loose your Cable internet.
Hackers can even take control of satellite communication and broadcast. it's been done twice on live TV broadcasts.
we have learned many times in the past not to rely to heavily on technology. Technology can always fail or be hacked
Just sayin
I don't trust the cloud
APPLE servers have been hacked before and famous nude photos have been taken by hackers and shared on the internet.
Heck. they are even tracking where you go by your cell phone location information. Hospital digital records hacked and taken.
No privacy anymore

So what are the maximum numbers of rows and columns in Numbers now? Previous versions had so few Numbers was next to useless.
Per above........#39

Well, no. The "hackers" sent fake password reset emails and guessed the recovery questions. Nothing was hacked.
If you don't need to store files on the Cloud, just don't store them there. No one is making you store them on the Cloud.
