Any way to move the slide workspace in Keynote?

Hey anyone and everyone, My question has already been asked way back in 2008. At the time there didn't seem to be solution.

I am on an animation project in Keynotes where I'd like to creat action from inside of my slide to the outsides horizontally.

Of course I can move my image totally out on the left side but then I can't bring it back in again (the slide workspace being anchored to the top and left side).

The right side & bottom works fine!

Is there any way to move the slide workspace into the centre of the canvas, as in PowerPoint?

Well, I hope Apple has found a solution after 5 years.

Can someone hep me please? Thanks in advance!

The slide is permanently "glued" at the top and left side and cant be moved.

This does not prevent setting up a build or an action build to move an object off screen, therefore I don't understand what you mean by:

but then I can't bring it back in again

Do you mean a three point build where an object builds in, out and in again?

What is preventing you "bringing it back"?

What build are you using?

Thanks for replying!

I should have said that I'm really NEW to keynote. 🙂

Ok… I have an image of a door that slides open from the centre to the left and right & are completely out of the slide workspace. When after a bit of animation (a few slides down) I want the door to close again.

I can get hold of the right side of the door because I can see it on the canvas. I can clic on the points of the red line to bring the ghost image to the centre of the slide again.

But I can't do the same for the left side. The red line with it's points seem to be behind the thumbnail area.
