   Pages 6.0, Numbers 4.0, and Keynote 7.0 for Mac

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has released major updates for its trio of iWork apps for the Mac
   ' [1]Pages 6.0, [2]Numbers 4.0, and [3]Keynote 7.0 ' with the addition
   of real-time collaboration, a beta feature first introduced at the
   iPhone 7 unveiling (see '[4]Apple's iPhone Event: Education, Karaoke,
   Mario, and More,' 7 September 2016). You'll be able to see who else is
   working on the document (including being able to view cursor
   placement), view changes in real time, and work on documents from a
   Mac, iPad, iPhone, or iCloud.com. According to this [5]Apple Support
   document, these are the devices and Web browsers required for real-time
   collaboration:
     * A Mac with macOS Sierra and Pages 6.0, Numbers 4.0, or Keynote 7.0
       or later
     * An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 10 and Pages 3.0, Numbers
       3.0, or Keynote 3.0 or later
     * A Mac with Safari 6.0.3 or later, or Google Chrome 27.0.1 or later
     * A Windows PC with Internet Explorer 11 or later, or Google Chrome
       27.0.1 or later

   The three apps also now use tabs to work with multiple documents in one
   window, provide wide color gamut image support, and now require a
   minimum of macOS 10.12 Sierra. Pages and Keynote can open and edit
   documents from their '05 versions, and Keynote introduces the Keynote
   Live feature ' enabling you to broadcast a slideshow to a Mac, iPad,
   iPhone, and iCloud.com (learn more about this feature from this
   [6]Apple Support page). ($19.99 new for [7]Pages, 228 MB; $19.99 new
   for [8]Numbers, 170 MB; $19.99 new for [9]Keynote, 469 MB; all three
   require 10.12+)
