On Thursday, Apple released its first feature updates for the iWork suite in several months: Pages, Keynote, and Numbers 12.0.

There are new versions of all three apps on both iOS and macOS. Judging from the version number, you’d expect these to be major new releases, but they only add a few features.

On macOS, the significant change is support for Shortcuts, Apple’s automation tool. For example, Pages now features “Open Document” and “Create Document” actions. Numbers offers the same but adds the “Add Row to Top or Bottom of Table” action. As for Keynote, you can also open and create with the presentation app, but you can also specify to open a presentation in either Rehearsal Mode or Show Mode.
