Pages stopped saving documents after I have opened them and made a change. I have to duplicate it and save it. How can I fix this?

You have described perfectly what is supposed to happen. That is what used to happen here but isn't what is happening now,

Once you formally save a new Pages document via the Save… panel, this will enable autosave, which works on your Mac, and with documents stored on iCloud Drive (with the latter enabled). Autosave may not work on other cloud services, on some NAS configurations, or certain formatted external drives.


I initially save my Pages documents once on either the local startup drive or iCloud Drive and have never had an issue with autosave not working, or the need to duplicate a document and then save it.
