Q: How do I add presenter notes to the iCloud version of Keynote?

I know how to add presenter notes in the desktop version, but when I login via a web browser to iCloud.com, and jump into my Keynote presentation, the option to "view presenter pane" is not visible under tools.

 

Is this option only available via the desktop or iOs version?

 

Second question...

 

If I input notes via the desktop version, and save it to iCloud, when I jump into iCloud via a web browser, with the notes be visible?

Keynote, iOS 7.0.4

    If you can't see it, it probably isn't there. the iCloud versions are cut back even by iOS standards.

     

    Second question: Try it.

    I had the same problem. I believe currently there is no way to show/edit presenter notes in the iCloud Keynote. The support will be added later, according this: Keynote for iCloud beta: Coming soon in Keynote for iCloud beta

    No,  the presenter notes still won't be visible but they are stored in the iCloud version as well.

     

    I did a little experiment that worked:

    • create a new presentation with presenter notes on the Keynote for Mac OS X
    • open it in the iCloud Keynote. Presenter notes will not be visible
    • choose "Save a copy" from the top right menu and download it as a PowerPoint presentation
    • presenter notes will be visible when opened in MS PowerPoint

     

    Hope this was helpful
