Editing IWork (section)

==History==
The first version of iWork, iWork '05, was announced on January 11, 2005 at the [[Macworld/iWorld|Macworld Conference & Expo]] and made available on January 22 in the United States and on January 29 worldwide. iWork '05 comprised two applications: Keynote 2, a presentation creation program, and Pages, a word processor. iWork '05 was sold for US$79. A 30-day trial was also made available for download on Apple's website.<ref name="pr05"/> Originally [[IGG Software]] held the rights to the name ''iWork''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Fried |first1=Ina |authorlink=Ina Fried |title=Apple office software seems likely |url=https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/apple-office-software-seems-likely/ |website=[[CNET]] |access-date=12 January 2024 |language=en |date=4 January 2005}}</ref>

While iWork was billed by Apple as "a successor to [[AppleWorks]]",<ref name="pr05"/> it does not replicate AppleWorks's [[database]] and drawing tools.<ref name="iwdatabase">{{cite web|url=http://www.myfirstmac.com/index.php/mac/articles/an-introduction-to-bento-the-missing-database-app-iwork-should-have|title=An Introduction to Bento, the Missing Database App iWork Should Have|access-date=2009-01-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120922012156/http://www.myfirstmac.com/index.php/mac/articles/an-introduction-to-bento-the-missing-database-app-iwork-should-have|archive-date=2012-09-22|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, iWork integrates with existing applications from Apple's [[iLife]] suite through the Media Browser, which allows users to drag and drop music from [[iTunes]], movies from [[iMovie]], and photos from [[iPhoto]] and [[Aperture (software)|Aperture]] directly into iWork documents.<ref name="pr05"/>

iWork '06 was released on January 10, 2006 and contained updated versions of both Keynote and Pages. Both programs were released as [[universal binary|universal binaries]] for the first time, allowing them to run natively on both PowerPC processors and the Intel processors used in the new [[iMac]] desktop computers and [[MacBook Pro]] notebooks which had been announced on the same day as the new iWork suite.<ref name="pr06">{{cite press release|url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2006/01/10Apple-Announces-iWork-06/|title=Apple Announces iWork '06|publisher=Apple|date=January 10, 2006}}</ref>

The next version of the suite, iWork '08, was announced and released on August 7, 2007 at a special media event at Apple's campus in [[Cupertino, California|Cupertino]], [[California]]. iWork '08, like previous updates, contained updated versions of Keynote and Pages. A new spreadsheet application, Numbers, was also introduced. Numbers differed from other spreadsheet applications, including [[Microsoft Excel]], in that it allowed users to create documents containing multiple spreadsheets on a flexible canvas using a number of built-in templates.<ref name="pr08">{{cite press release | title = Apple Introduces iWork '08 | publisher = Apple | date = August 7, 2007 | url = https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2007/08/07Apple-Introduces-iWork-08/}}</ref>

iWork '09, was announced on January 6, 2009 and released the same day. It contains updated versions of all three applications in the suite. iWork '09 also included access to a beta version of the [[iWork.com]] service, which allowed users to share documents online until that service was decommissioned at the end of July 2012. Users of iWork '09 could upload a document directly from Pages, Keynote, or Numbers and invite others to view it online. Viewers could write notes and comments in the document, and download a copy in iWork, [[Microsoft Office]], or [[PDF]] formats.<ref name="pr09">{{cite press release|url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2009/01/06Apple-Unveils-iWork-09/|title=Apple Unveils iWork '09|publisher=Apple|date=January 6, 2009}}</ref> iWork '09 was also released with the Mac App Store on January 6, 2011 at $19.99 per application, and received regular updates after this point, including links to [[iCloud]] and a high-DPI version designed to match Apple's [[MacBook Pro]] with [[Retina Display]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Loyola |first=Roman |url=http://www.macworld.com/article/145941/2010/01/iwork_ipad.html |title=Apple introduces iWork for iPad |publisher=Macworld |access-date=December 31, 2011}}</ref>

On January 27, 2010, Apple announced iWork for [[iPad]], to be available as three separate $9.99 applications from the [[App Store (iOS)|App Store]].<ref name="Apple PR">{{cite press release|url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2010/01/27Apple-Launches-iPad/|title=Apple Launches iPad|publisher=[[Apple Inc.|Apple]]|date=January 27, 2010|access-date=May 17, 2022}}</ref> This version has also received regular updates including a version for pocket [[iPhone]] and [[iPod Touch]] devices, and an update to take advantage of Retina Display devices and the larger screens of recent iPhones.

On October 22, 2013, Apple announced an overhaul of the iWork software for both the Mac and iOS. Both suites were made available via the respective App Stores. The update is free for current iWork owners<ref name="Apple PR" /> and was also made available free of charge for anyone purchasing an OS X or iOS device after October 1, 2013.<ref>{{cite web|title=Apple – Creativity and Productivity Apps|url=https://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/|access-date=11 May 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140510043351/http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/|archive-date=10 May 2014}}</ref> Any user activating the newly free iWork apps on a qualifying device can download the same apps on another iOS or OS X device logged into the same App Store account.

The new OS X versions have been criticized<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.macrumors.com/2013/10/25/some-power-users-are-unhappy-with-lost-features-in-the-new-iwork/|title=Some Power Users Are Unhappy With Lost Features in the New iWork |publisher=MacRumors |date=October 25, 2013}}</ref> for losing features such as multiple selection, linked text boxes, bookmarks, 2-up page views, mail merge, searchable comments, ability to read/export [[Rich Text Format|RTF]] files, default zoom and page count, integration with [[AppleScript]]. Apple has provided a road-map for feature re-introduction, stating that it hopes to reintroduce some missing features within the next six months. As of April 1, 2014 a few features—e.g., the ability to set the default zoom—had been reintroduced, though scores had not.<ref>{{cite web|title=About the new iWork for Mac: Features and compatibility|url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_GB&locale=en_GB|publisher=Apple|access-date=6 November 2013}}</ref>

Due to using a completely new file format that can work across macOS, Windows, and in most [[web browser]]s by using the online iCloud web apps, versions of iWork beginning with iWork 13 and later do not open or allow editing of documents created in versions prior to iWork '09, with users who attempt to open older iWork files being given a pop-up in the new iWork 13 app versions telling them to use the previous iWork '09 (which users may or may not have on their machine) in order to open and edit such files. Accordingly, the current version for OS X (which was initially only compatible with [[OS X Mavericks]] 10.9 onwards) moves any previously installed iWork '09 apps to an iWork '09 folder on the users machine (in <code>/Applications/iWork '09/</code>), as a work-around to allow users continued use of the earlier suite in order to open and edit older iWork documents locally on their machine.<ref name="iw iwork compatibility 1">{{cite web|url=http://www.infoworld.com/article/2610821/open-source-software/open-document-standards-will-cure-apple-s-bit-rot.html|title=Open document standards will cure Apple's bit rot|publisher=Infoworld|first=Simon|last=Phipps|date=March 21, 2014|access-date=November 23, 2014}}</ref> In October 2015, Apple released an update to mitigate this issue, allowing users to open documents saved in iWork '06 and iWork '08 formats in the latest version of Pages.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/10/15/apple-updates-iwork-for-ios-and-os-x-el-capitan-with-support-for-multitasking-3d-touch-more|title = Apple updates iWork for iOS and OS X el Capitan with support for multitasking, 3D Touch, VoiceOver, more}}</ref>

In 2016, Apple announced that the real-time collaboration feature would be available for all iWork apps, instead of being constrained to using [[iWork for iCloud]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/iwork/ |title=iWork |website=Apple |language=en-US |access-date=2016-11-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070814024014/http://www.apple.com/iwork/ |archive-date=2007-08-14 }}</ref> The feature is comparable to [[Google Docs, Sheets and Slides|Google Docs]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2016/09/07/apple-adds-real-time-collaboration-to-iwork/|title=Apple adds real-time collaboration to iWork|website=Engadget|access-date=2016-11-27}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://mashable.com/2016/09/07/apple-iwork-update/|title=Apple adds real-time collaboration to iWork, taking a stab at Microsoft and Google|last=Flynn|first=Kerry|website=Mashable|date=7 September 2016|access-date=2016-11-27}}</ref>
