Collaboration is possible using Apple Pages, and it’s very easy to keep track of changes made by everyone. Change Tracking can help you interact with changes made by contributors in the Page. If you want someone to add a specific piece of information to the document, you can leave them a comment.
Track Changes makes collaboration a little more interactive as you can leave comments and replies. In addition, if you are responsible for finalizing the document, you can accept or reject the relevant changes. Here’s how to use Track Changes in Apple Pages on a Mac like a pro.
