Add, skip or delete slides in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

There are several ways to add slides to a presentation in Keynote. You can create a new slide, duplicate existing slides and add slides from another presentation.

You can also skip slides you don’t want to show during your presentation. Skipping is useful, for example, if you want to retain two versions of a slide but you want to show only one of them. You can select and edit skipped slides just as you would other slides.

Add a slide

Tap in the slide navigator on the left, then tap a slide layout.

After adding a slide, add your own content to it, including text, shapes, tables, charts, photos and videos.

Duplicate slides

Do any of the following:

Duplicate a slide in slide view: Tap to select a slide in the slide navigator on the left, tap it again, tap in the format bar that appears, then tap Duplicate.
Duplicate a slide in light table view: Tap a slide, then tap .
Duplicate multiple slides in light table view: Tap Select at the bottom of the window, tap the slides you want to duplicate, tap , then tap Done.
Duplicate a slide in outline view: In the text outline, tap the top row of the slide you want to duplicate, then tap to open the selection controls. Pinch and drag the white resize handles (they look like white bars above and below the selected text) to select all the slide’s contents, then tap Duplicate. (You may need to tap multiple times to see the Duplicate button.)
Duplicate multiple slides in outline view: In the text outline, tap the top row of a slide you want to duplicate, then tap to open the selection controls. Pinch and drag the white resize handles to select the slides you want to duplicate, then tap Duplicate.

Skip or unskip slides

If you don’t want a slide to appear during a presentation, you can skip it. If you later decide you want it to appear, you can unskip it.

In slide view: Tap to select the slide in the slide navigator on the left, tap it again, tap in the format bar that appears, then tap Skip Slide or Unskip Slide.
In light table view: Tap to select a slide or select multiple slides, then tap or at the bottom of the window.
In outline view: Tap the top row of the slide in the text outline, tap , then tap Skip Slide or Unskip Slide.

Note: If you skip the first slide in a collapsed group, the entire group is skipped when you play the presentation.

Change the slide size

Tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, tap Presentation Options, then tap Presentation Setup.
Tap Slide Size, then choose a new size.

Show slide numbers

On selected slides: Tap to select a slide, tap the slide again, tap in the format bar that appears, then tap Number.
On all slides: Tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, tap Presentation Options, then tap Show Slide Numbers.
