Every document you produce begins with a template, which you may then customize however you like. To provide you a wonderful place to start with your work, the templates are created for certain objectives such as essays, newsletters, and novels.

Also, it is accessible online via iCloud.  In February 2005, Pages' initial version was released.  According to Apple, Pages is a quick and easy program that enables users to easily generate documents on their devices.  Pages comes with a selection of templates created by Apple that cover a variety of topics (such as outlines, posters, resumes, and letters).

After you've opened a template, you can change the text, add new objects, and replace any placeholder visuals (tables, charts, text boxes, shapes, lines, and media).

The formatting and layout controls are located in the sidebar to the right of the Pages window, and they are used to change the text and objects in your project (shown below). Aside from the controls for the text or item you selected, the sidebar is empty.

You can modify the item however you want by using the other controls in the sidebar. Also, you can c lick the tabs at the top of the sidebar for more formatting options.
