To enable Change Tracking, go to the “View” menu, select “Show Change Tracking,” and then navigate to the specific change you want to undo. Once you’ve located the change, simply click on it and select the “Reject Change” option to undo it.

Reverting to a Previous Version

Pages will replace your current document with the selected version, effectively undoing all subsequent changes.
