Hi, To confirm that it is enabled on your iPhone, go into iCloud in your Settings and let VO tell you whether it is on or off. The other thing that you may wish to check is to ensure that you have allowed Pages to use your cellular data connection. This should be in Settings under the Cellular item. If Pages is not allowed to use data in this area, it would not sync things until you had a WiFi connection.

The only thing was that when editing my document on my iPhone, I was away from home and thus on the celular connection. I wonder whether the celular connection was to blame. Otherwise I did exactly as you did. I certainly have icloud drive enabled on my macbook pro and I swear I had enabled it on my iphone. Is there a way I could double-check this last point? I've just started using Voice Dream Writer that has icloud storage capabilities and I notice that when editing my document in Writer, each time I change the document a new copy is created in my icloud drive so it kind of works but I'm astonished that the original document does not get modified but rather a new copy is created. Thanks for your help, Tim.
