It’s worth noting that freezing can sometimes occur due to insufficient memory or other system issues. If you frequently experience freezes with Pages or other applications, it may be a good idea to check your Mac’s available storage space and consider optimizing its performance.
Additionally, it’s always a good practice to regularly update your macOS and applications to ensure you have the latest bug fixes and improvements that can help prevent freezing issues.
I hope these steps help you unfreeze Pages on your Mac!
