I was using pages regularly before I had to reset my ipad. Now when I open the app I can not find the way to create a new blank document. On the screen at the bottom is recents and and browse. In recents there is nothing because I lost everything in the reset. In browse a bunch of categories on the left, all empty. I just need to know how to find where to begin a new blank document. Thank you. Latest version ios 11.

I had to turn on everything in the new files app to make pages work.

There is a little cross in the top right hand corner of the screen in Pages. Press this cross to bring up all the former templates including “New Document.” It took me a while to find it too.
