I guess I don't understand iCloud Drive or the "Document Picker" that's enabled in certain apps to use it.

If I'm in an app that can call up the document picker, it lists all my files on iCloud Drive. Ok, that's good. However, when I select one, say a Pages file and choose "open in pages", the Pages app launches and creates a duplicate of the file?

Why doesn't it just open up the original?
