Pages, Keynote, and Numbers Get New iOS 11 Features

[Maura]

9to5 Mac reports today that Apple has updated its Pages, Numbers and Keynotes apps with new iOS 11 features.

First off, Pages has a new look for its document manager to make it easier to view files from third-party service providers and iCloud Drive. Drag and drop support for iPad has also been added, among many other new enhancements, such as being able to select a paragraph of text with a triple-tap gesture. Also, improved PDF export means that you can view a document’s table of contents in the sidebar in PDF viewing apps.

Secondly, Numbers gets many of the same updates as Pages, including document manager, drag and drop, and Files app integration. New Numbers-specific features include new date, time, and duration keyboards to make it easier to enter values, as well as new “smart steppers” that let you make minor adjustments to existing data, time and duration values faster.

And finally, Keynote also has many of the same common features added as Pages and Numbers, as well as other features such as support for Break Apart command for complex shapes from the shapes library, and being able to use Unite, Intersect, Subtract, and Exclude commands to create new shapes.

I’ve also updated these apps yesterday. Usually, Apple provides updates to software as well as apps at the same time around the globe.

We are an hour ahead.

That doesn’t matter in this case, though. When an update is available, everyone gets it immediately, no matter which timezone and time.

I would suggest that something else is amiss.
Is everything ok with your system?
Try doing a reset, sorry don’t know iPad you own on mine it’s pressing both buttons until the Apple appears and then releasing them.
Then trying again.
Hope it helps for you

Got it in the uk this morning. Go to updates on The App Store and pull down to refresh the updates list, in the way you pull down to check mail. Although I had checked the update list each day, it was not until I did the refresh that I found I had updates going back 3 days. (No doubt the servers are busy with ios11 updates.)
