Tim,
Had not thought to look at the Share feature. So if I share the document and edit it, the copy on iCloud Drive is untouched? Can you then save it back to iCloud Drive? Thanks, as always.

Hi,

A problem with the method I mentioned is that it will make a duplicate copy of the document in the other app.  so, for example, if you chose to share the document to Pages, it would make an editable copy of the document with the dot-Pages extension.  Thus, you would not be specifically working in the same document as you had originally in the Files app.  Not sure if this will be improved upon in future updates to the Files app, but that's the best I can suggest for now.

Later...

Hi,

When you are reading the document within the Files app, you should have a Share button down near the bottom of the screen.  Double-tap that and send it to the app you wish to edit it in.

Later...

Hi Donna,
  We had discussed this regarding rtf editors and iCloud Drive. I am finally getting around to working on this.

  On the iPad I can find any file using the Files app. But how then would I edit a file using say, TextEditor or Voice Dream Writer? On the other hand, if I open either app, I cannot find the file in its folder on iCloud Drive.

  I've been placing certain documents on iCloud Drive for easy access from any device such as a list of shortcuts for Mac or iOS. Reading them is fine. But if I need to do any editing, that is where I am lost. If I can figure out iCloud Drive, I am home free. Thanks.
