7 months agoHi Si Hall! Thanks for your post.
Has this been happening for some time now, or is it a behavior you noticed recently after a specific update?
Keep me posted.

Hi Nancy,
I have exactly the same problem as Si Hall. It happens even with newly created files, certainly not in use by others. There are only very few files in my DropBox shared with other users fair away from the files in question and in an other folder.
During work with a newly created file there are tens of conflicted copies created!
Thanks for an answer!

Hi HofmWalt, is this occurring only for Pages files created on the iPad, or does it also apply for those on the desktop device?
