Shared Pages Document Can't Create New Styles

I'm using macOS 11.6.1 and Pages 11.2.

In Pages, when I create a new Pages document I am able to create new styles (Format -> Advanced -> Create Style); however, when I attempt to create a style in an existing document, the "Create Style" option is greyed out.

The existing document has been around for a couple of years (it is a design specification for a development project) and it gets frequently updated. It is also shared with my team.

Any thoughts as to why "Create Style" is greyed out in this document?

Thanks,

Mark

Thanks for the link to the Pages User Guide for Mac, @VikingOSX. I found a link to the answer in there. To share with others:

The answer is on the website "About collaboration for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote" (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206181). Under the heading "Features Not Supported with Collaboration" unsupported features include: "Create, delete, or reorder styles."

To change your styles in a shared document, you have to first un-share the document, make the changes, and then re-share the document.
