		+	By 2020, the format is saved in a ZIP format file with the extension of the application (.pages, etc.) and no .zip extension anywhere. The contents are still similar to 2013, except the Index directory is directly within the top archive instead of in a nested ZIP.

 The web-based cloud version can be run in a browser (Not all browsers are fully supported; when you try it in Firefox, it says that it is an unsupported browser, but seems to work anyway, though it is possible some features aren't fully functional), and is free for iCloud users. The app versions are paid, though apparently they come free with newly-purchased iOS devices since late 2013; they will sync automatically with iCloud to access cloud-stored documents.
-Current versions of the iWork applications can load and save the corresponding Microsoft Office file types (using, apparently, the 2003 file versions): [[DOC]] (Word), [[XLS]] (Excel), and [[PPT]] (Powerpoint). (Apparently earlier versions couldn't, as the Wikipedia article claims a lack of interoperability with Microsoft's programs.) They can also save as [[PDF]], producing a static document that can be useful for viewing, but not so much for editing or import into other software. And then there is the native iWork format, used in slight variations for each of the three applications, and bearing .pages, .numbers, and .key extensions respectively, or double extensions .pages.zip, .numbers.zip, and .key.zip when saved in a [[ZIP]] file.

 '''iWork''' is an Apple application suite available as apps for OS-X and iOS as well as in a cloud-based version on iCloud. It comprises [[Pages]] (word processing and desktop publishing), [[Numbers]] (spreadsheets), and [[Keynote]] (presentations). As of 2014, Apple seems to have deprecated the "iWork" name, but they haven't introduced any other collective name for their office-suite applications, so people discussing and reviewing them still tend to call it by this name even if Apple isn't.
