Keynotes Master Slide

There is no master slide option/drop down when using keynotes. Is there an issue or version that does not have master slide? I have tried on 3 different apple devices and that option is not available

iMac Pro, macOS 11.5

I can edit slide layout but it does not give me a master slide option. I need the master slide option to affect every slide in the presentation. All the tutorials I have found show a master slide drop down or in the view menu but mine does not on all 3 of my apple devices.

I understand. The slides that appear when you go to View > Edit Slide Layouts are indeed the master slides for each type. Eg. If you select "add slide" when building a presentation you'll see each of those Slide Layouts by type. Modifying the original (edit slide layout) will affect every slide of that type that you have inserted.


You can create a title, text, checklist, change the typeface, size, color, etc. On any of those slides and it will updates all slides of that type.


From my presentation (created from a keynote template). I typed my text in the Title slide:


Then went to View > Edit Slide Layout to see all the slide templates available in the document


I modify the text on the slide layout I'm editing (changing the type color from white to black)

The go to View > Exit Slide Layout and see that my presentation slides have updated. Anywhere the title slide appears in the document, the white text is now black.
