Re: What are some ‘advanced’ features of Keynote?


There are various"How to" videos available on YouTube .. including some from Apple


Also: See what's new in Keynote 14.0

  • Add a new look to your slides with the Dynamic Colour, Minimalist Light and Minimalist Dark themes.
  • Streamlined in-app notifications inform you when a person joins a collaborative presentation for the first time.
  • Preserve file format and full quality when adding HEIC photos taken on iPhone or iPad.
  • Hold the Command key to select non-contiguous words, sentences or paragraphs.
  • Improved compatibility for slide transitions when importing and exporting Microsoft PowerPoint files.
  • Additional stability and performance improvements.


More info: What’s new in Keynote 14.0 on Mac - Apple Support

NB: also goes through and lists all the new features in previous Keynote versions

Eg: says for Keynote 12.1 : Select from new animated themes featuring dynamic backgrounds.


Check out the Keynote User Guide for Mac - Apple Support

Eg: Click the "Table of Contents" near the top, for all the current topics, with links to "how to" articles.

or Use the search field (eg: to investigate any of the new features)


Also, there's a: Keynote — Official Apple Support Website


All the best :-)
