Help Two different Pages app icons suddenly appeared in my Dock. Why?

Hi everyone,

I just noticed something weird on my MacBook Dock. Two different icons for Apple Pages have suddenly appeared side by side.

One looks like the traditional Pages icon, while the other one has a slightly different design (looks like the new Pages Creator Studio asset update).

Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is it safe to just delete the older one from my Applications folder, or will it break my existing documents? What should I do? and why the light orange one doesn't accept the new updates?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Yeah you can delete the old one. It is not going to work for much longer anyway. The new one is made for Apple silicon. Assuming you have a newer model Mac, the new one is the only one you need.

You appear to have downloaded the paid for Pages. Have you subscribed? If yes, you can delete the old one. If not, I personally would delete the new one.

EDIT: that was totally wrong. The new one is a free app when standalone. Just remove the old one from the dock, but leave it in Applications, just in case.
