Apple rolled out iWork for iCloud way back in August. Since then it is touting its features like real-time collaboration, easy sharing and few others in almost every other event. We got the real-time collaboration update to iWork just after the Apple iPad Air event. And now, the company has updated iWork with a bunch of new features.

Users will now be able to view all collaborators who are right now working on the same project. They can also view "cursors and selections" for each person who is editing a particular document in Pages, Numbers or Keynote. Instantly jumping to a collaborator's cursor has also got easier. You simply need to click the name in the collaborator list.

The update will also allow users to organize their documents in folders and will be able to print directly from the Tools menu.

A new hyperlink feature has been also included in the spreadsheets in Numbers. You can easily create links using this hyperlink function. Right in the browser, you can also change the order of the document's sheets.

For skipping a slide in Keynote during playback, all you need to do is right click that slide in the navigator.

Collaboration animation is another feature that seems interesting and useful. As collaborators will move the shapes and images in a document, you can view them animating at your end.

However, it is interesting to note that Apple is still not shedding the beta tag from its icons of iWork applications. The company is doing all it could to bring back the charm it used to carry two years ago. The operating system and productivity applications like iWork are already free on every new device purchased.

The features are already live on iCloud.com.
