You can quickly change the look of a selected object (image, shape, table, or chart) by clicking one of the six styles near the top of the sidebar. (Click the button again to hide the sidebar.) If you don’t see a sidebar, click in the toolbar. Only the controls you need to modify the selected object are visible. When you select text or an object on a slide, formatting controls for it appear in the sidebar on the right.

You can also add other objects-like shapes, photos, and charts-to any slide. To build your presentation, you replace placeholder content with your own content, or delete placeholders you don’t need. Slides in a theme include placeholder images and text styled as headlines and body content. To create a Keynote presentation, you always start with a theme, then modify it however you want. You can use Keynote to create beautiful and engaging presentations with fun animations, interesting transitions, and professional polish.
