Apple updated its iWork app to offer real-time collaboration. This is a great update indeed, and with this now working together online has become easier than before.

iWork will work with existing Apple office applications, including Apple’s presentation-making software. It also introduces a public and private mode. Groups of users will be able to add text, images, and animations to their documents in real time on the iPad, iPhone and on the web. With this Apple’s iWork can now challenge its contemporaries like Google Docs for sure, and it was one of the most requested updates by the Apple device users.

By relying on Apple’s iCloud, iWork users can edit files on Mac OS, iOS and the web – so collaboration can use a MacBook or another laptop running OS as well as an iPhone or iPad – and changes made to the documents can be seen nearly immediately.
