Is it possible to create a template in keynote that includes more than just the layout?

I have a keynote document that I use daily. It contains a combination of slides that do not change and blank ones where I add custom content.

I would like to make this into a template, so that I do not have to duplicate the original every time I want to use it (several times on most days). It is too easy to just open it, edit it and forget to duplicate it. (In .ppt, I could just save as. No such option with iWorks. 🙂 This has always been a pet peeve of mine with Apple. (I prefer to decide myself what my workflow should look like!).

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), have 3 versions of each iWorks app

Create your design on one or more master slides:
View > Edit Master Slide

delete unwanted master

then save as a Theme: File > Save Theme



Save as; is achieved by pressing the option key then File > Save as...
