Intro to Home on Apple Vision Pro

The Home app  is an iPad app that works with Apple Vision Pro. You can use the Home app to securely control and automate HomeKit and Matter-enabled accessories, such as lights, smart TVs, and thermostats. When you set up security cameras that support HomeKit Secure Video, you can capture video, and receive a notification when a camera recognizes someone or when a package is left at the door.

Set up security cameras in Home on Apple Vision Pro

You can use the Home app

 to view video activity captured by your home’s cameras. With any HomeKit-compatible camera, you can view video streams in the Home app, choose who can view those streams, and set up notifications when activity is detected.

See the Home accessories website for a list of compatible security cameras.

If you have one or more HomeKit Secure Video cameras, you can additionally take advantage of these features:

• Encrypted video: Video captured by your cameras is privately analyzed and encrypted on your home hub device (Apple TV or HomePod) and securely uploaded to iCloud so that only you and those you share it with can view it.
• Record video: If you subscribe to iCloud+, you can view the last 10 days of activity from one to an unlimited number of cameras. The 50 GB iCloud+ plan supports a single camera, the 200 GB iCloud+ plan supports up to five cameras, and the 2 TB iCloud+ plan supports an unlimited number of cameras.

Note: Video content doesn’t count against your iCloud storage limit.

• Activity Zones: Create zones that focus your camera on the most important areas within its view.
• Face recognition: Receive notifications when people you’ve identified in the Photos app are within the camera’s view.

See Store encrypted security camera footage in iCloud with HomeKit Secure Video and Set up HomeKit Secure Video on all your devices in the iCloud User Guide.

Camera options

When you add a camera in the Home app, you can choose streaming options and assign the camera to a room. With a HomeKit Secure Video camera, you can also choose recording options. By default, up to four cameras are marked as favorites and appear in the Home tab. To edit those settings later, tap the Camera tile, then tap

 to see these options:

• Room: A camera can be located in a room inside your home, or you can create a room for an outside location such as your front porch or back yard.
• Notifications: Choose to receive notifications when the camera detects activity, changes status, or goes offline.
• Recording options for HomeKit Secure Video cameras: You can create separate recording settings for when you’re home and when you’re away. For example, when you’re home, you might choose to stop streaming and recording from a camera inside your home, but continue to stream and record from an outdoor camera.

Note: The Home app uses the location of devices belonging to members of the home to switch between Home and Away modes (they must have Find My turned on).

Set up notifications

1. In the Home tab, tap , then tap Home Settings.
2. Tap Cameras & Doorbells.
3. Tap the camera you want to set up notifications for.
4. Tap Notifications, then turn on Activity Notifications.

All HomeKit-compatible cameras can send a notification when motion is detected. HomeKit Secure Video cameras can additionally send notifications based on these factors:

• The time of day
• When someone is or isn’t home
• When a clip is recorded
• When any or a specific motion is detected

When you choose a specific motion, you receive a notification when the camera detects people, animals, or vehicles, or when a package is delivered. For a package to be detected, it must be within the camera’s view after delivery.

Tip: Choosing a specific motion, rather than any motion, results in fewer clips (and fewer clip notifications) and less video to review. For example, if you choose to detect people, your camera won’t capture the movement of leaves on a tree or a squirrel leaping from branch to branch.

Create Activity Zones for HomeKit Secure Video cameras

You can create zones that focus your HomeKit Secure Video camera on the most important areas within its view—your front walkway but not the sidewalk behind it, for example. You can then be alerted when motion is detected in these zones.

Note: You can create Activity Zones only for cameras set up to record when a specific motion is detected. Activity Zones don’t affect motion detection automations.

1. In the Home tab, tap the camera tile, then tap .
2. Tap Select Activity Zones, tap the video to create a zone, then tap Add Zone.

To have your camera detect motion only outside the zone you defined, tap Invert Zone.

3. Create any additional zones you want within the camera’s view—one for the driveway and another for the mailbox, for example.
4. Tap Done.

To remove an activity zone, tap Select Activity Zones, tap inside a zone, then tap Clear.

View video

1. In the Home tab, tap the camera tile.

Live video should play automatically.

2. If you’ve chosen to record video, swipe through the timeline at the bottom of the window to browse recorded clips.

• No Restriction: The router allows the accessory to connect to any internet service or local device.

This provides the lowest level of security.

Get started with Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

Keynote

 is an app designed for Apple Vision Pro. Use Keynote to create beautiful and engaging presentations with fun animations, 3D objects, and interesting transitions. You can even rehearse presentations in an Environment like Conference Room or Theater.

The basics
To create a Keynote presentation, you always start with a theme, then modify it however you like. Slides in a theme include placeholder images and text styled as headlines and body content.

To build your presentation, you replace placeholder content with your own content, or delete placeholders you don’t need. You can also use the toolbar at the bottom of the app to add other objects—like shapes, photos, and charts—to any slide. You can even add, edit, and view 3D objects (in supported formats) to your presentation.

Formatting options
When you select an object (an image, shape, chart, table, or cell), you see formatting controls in the format bar for the type of object you selected.

You can also use the controls—like

 or  —in the navigation bar at the top to see additional formatting and presentation options.

Rehearse in an Environment
On Apple Vision Pro, you can rehearse your Keynote presentation in a realistic setting, like a conference room or a theater, and see your presentation on the screen in the Environment.

Collaborate and present together
Invite others to work with you on your presentation. Everyone you invite can see changes as they’re made, but you control who can edit or only view the presentation.

Once you’ve created your presentation together, you and multiple presenters can present online to others, just as if you were presenting using a video conferencing app.

Use keyboard shortcuts
If you have an external keyboard connected to your Apple Vision Pro, you can use keyboard shortcuts to quickly accomplish many tasks in Keynote.

You can press and hold the Command (⌘) key on the keyboard to show a list of shortcuts for the item that’s selected on the slide, like text or a table. To use a keyboard shortcut, press all the keys in the shortcut at the same time.

Create a presentation in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

Create a presentation from a theme

1. Open Keynote, then in the presentation manager, tap at the top, then tap a theme in the Theme Chooser to open it.

If you see an open presentation, tap the name of the presentation at the top, tap Open, then tap

.

Some themes aren’t downloaded to Apple Vision Pro until you choose them or open a presentation that uses one. If your connection is slow or you’re offline when this happens, placeholder images and slide backgrounds in the presentation may appear at a lower resolution until you’re online again or the theme finishes downloading.

2. To use a different slide layout for the first slide, tap the slide in the slide navigator on the left, tap in the format bar that appears, tap Layout, then select a different layout.

Each slide layout offers a different arrangement of text and images that you use as a starting point for your content.

To build your presentation, do any of the following

• Add a slide: Tap in the slide navigator on the left, then select a layout.
  
• Add text: Double-tap placeholder text and type your own.
• Add an image: Tap to replace placeholder images with your own photo, or pinch and drag an image from your photos or a webpage to the slide.

2. Tap the filename at the top of the window (such as Presentation), tap Rename, enter a name, then tap Rename again.

If iCloud is set up, Keynote saves the presentation to iCloud Drive by default.

3. To play the presentation, tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then tap or swipe to advance through the slides.

To end the presentation, tap

 below the app window (next to the window bar). For more ways to show a presentation, see Play a presentation in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro.

4. To close the presentation when you’re finished working, tap below the app window.

Keynote automatically saves your changes, so you won’t lose any of your work.

Choose how to navigate your presentation

To set how to navigate your presentation, do the following:

1. Tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, tap Presentation Options, then tap Presentation Type.
2. Choose one of the following options:
   • Normal: The presentation changes slides or starts animations when the presenter or viewer presses the Right Arrow or Left Arrow key, or taps a link. This is useful if you want to present the slides sequentially.
   • Links Only: The presentation changes slides only when the presenter or viewer taps a link. This is useful if you want to present an interactive slideshow, or if you want to present slides in nonsequential order. To learn more about using links to create interactive slideshows, see Add a link in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro.
   • Self-Playing: The presentation advances and starts animations automatically, with no interaction needed to navigate between slides.
   • Loop Slideshow: At the end of the slideshow, the presentation restarts from the first slide.

Restart Show if Idle: Use the up or down arrow to set the amount of time the presentation can be idle, with no viewer interaction, before the presentation returns to the first slide.

Save, name, and copy a presentation in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

Keynote automatically saves your presentation as you work. If iCloud is set up, the presentation is saved there by default, but you can move it. You can also rename a presentation at any time or create a duplicate of it with a different name.

Rename a presentation

1. Tap the presentation name near the top of the window, then tap Rename.
2. Type a new name, then tap Rename.

Make a copy of a presentation

1. Open Keynote, and if a presentation is already open, tap the name of the presentation at the top, then tap Open to see all your presentations.
2. Pinch and hold the thumbnail of the presentation you want to copy, then tap Duplicate.

The duplicate appears with a number appended to its name.

Tips for working in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

Use gestures to navigate your presentation
You can tap or swipe to navigate slides while you rehearse or play your presentation. Make sure you look at the slide or presenter display while you tap or swipe.

For more information about gestures on Apple Vision Pro, see Learn basic gestures and controls on Apple Vision Pro.

Interact with 3D objects
You can view, play, and rotate 3D objects in your presentation. Tap an object while you edit, rehearse, or play the presentation to see more options. See Add or replace a 3D object and View 3D objects while you present.

Prevent accidental editing

To avoid accidentally moving objects or bringing up the keyboard as you view, scroll, and interact with text and objects, you can use reading view. Reading view minimizes the controls to just what you need to view the content and perform basic tasks. You can quickly switch to editing view to make changes, then switch back to reading view.

When you send a Keynote presentation to someone else or someone sends a presentation to you, it opens in reading view. When you reopen a presentation, it opens the way you left it—in reading view or editing view.

Do any of the following to switch between reading view and editing view:

• Switch between reading and editing view: Tap or  in the top-right corner.
• Set presentations you receive to always open in editing view: Tap , tap Settings, then turn on Open in Edit View.

If you later change a presentation to reading view, it opens in reading view the next time you open it.

Undo or redo actions

In the toolbar, tap

 to undo or   to redo the last action.

Change the working view

You can view your slides in different ways to help you organize and edit your presentation.

Tap 

 in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then tap an option.

• Slide view (the default): Displays thumbnail images of each slide in the slide navigator on the left, and a full view of the selected slide on the right. You can tap thumbnails in the slide navigator to jump to specific slides, or pinch and drag thumbnails to reorganize your presentation.
• Light table: Displays slide thumbnails as if on a light table. This view is useful for organizing your presentation because you can see more slides at once. You can pinch and drag the slide thumbnails to change their order.
• Outline view: Displays the title and bulleted text of each slide below a preview of the selected slide on the right. This is useful for creating an initial rough draft of a presentation, seeing the flow of text-rich presentations, or focusing on the structure of your presentation.

Browse, create, and open Keynote files
The presentation manager—where you create, open, and manage your presentations—is what you see when you open Keynote and no presentation is open. You can also go back to it at any time.

To go to the presentation manager when a presentation is open, tap the name of the presentation at the top, then tap Open.

Add, skip, or delete slides in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

There are several ways to add slides to a presentation in Keynote. You can create a new slide, duplicate existing slides, and add slides from another presentation.

You can also skip slides you don’t want to show during your presentation. Skipping is useful, for example, if you want to retain two versions of a slide but you want to show only one of them. You can select and edit skipped slides just as you would other slides.

(You may need to tap  multiple times to see the Duplicate button.)

Duplicate multiple slides in outline view: In the text outline, tap the top row of a slide you want to duplicate, then tap

 to open the selection controls. Pinch and drag the white resize handles to select the slides you want to duplicate, then tap Duplicate.

Skip or unskip slides

If you don’t want a slide to appear during a presentation, you can skip it. If you later decide you want it to appear, you can unskip it.

• In slide view: Tap to select the slide in the slide navigator on the left, tap it again, tap in the format bar that appears, then tap Skip Slide or Unskip Slide.

Change a slide background in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

You can change the background color or image of individual slides in a presentation. You can also choose a dynamic background that uses ambient animations to add movement to a slide.

Use a standard background

1. In the slide navigator on the left, tap to select a slide, tap it again, then tap in the format bar that appears.

Tap Standard, then choose the options you want. You can choose a two-color gradient fill, use a color from elsewhere on the slide, add an image, and more.

Use a dynamic background

Dynamic backgrounds are animations that add motion to slides without significantly increasing the size of your Keynote file. There are a variety of preset dynamic background styles you can choose and customize. If you use the same dynamic background style on more than one consecutive slide, the animation plays seamlessly when you change slides.

Tip: Use the Magic Move slide transition to seamlessly move between slides that use the same dynamic background style but with different appearance settings.

1. In the slide navigator on the left, tap to select a slide, tap it again, then tap in the format bar that appears.
2. Tap Dynamic, then tap the style you want to use.
3. Do any of the following:

Apply and edit slide layouts in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

The slide templates used in each Keynote theme are based on slide layouts. To quickly change the look of a slide, you can apply a different slide layout to it. If you make changes to a slide format (like moving a text or image placeholder) and later want to use the original formatting, you can reapply the slide layout. Reapplying the slide layout won’t delete your content.

If you add new images, text, and other objects to a slide layout, these objects become part of the slide background and aren’t editable in your presentation. If you want text, shapes, or images on a slide layout to be editable in your presentation, you must add them to the layout as placeholders.

You can make the same kinds of changes to a slide layout that you make to a regular slide—for example, modify the appearance of text, change the slide background, and change the size of the images. The changes appear on every slide in the presentation that’s based on that layout.

Apply a different slide layout
Tap to select a slide on the left, tap it again, tap

 in the format bar that appears, then tap Layout to choose a new layout, or tap Reapply Slide layout.

   • Create a media placeholder: Add an imageor add a video.
4. Change the item’s appearance however you like and pinch and drag it where you want it on the slide.
5. Tap to select the object you added, tap , then tap Style.
6. Scroll down, then turn on Define as Text Placeholder or Define as Media Placeholder.
7. If you want slides based on this layout to allow objects to be layered under slide layout objects, tap the background of the slide (so that nothing is selected), tap , then turn on Allow Layering.

To learn more about layers, see Layer, group, and lock objects in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro.

8. When you’re done editing, tap Done.

Placeholders are automatically tagged according to type. The tags “tell” the content where to go when you apply a different layout to a slide. For example, an image that’s in a placeholder with the tag “Media” is automatically added to a placeholder from the new layout that also has the tag “Media.”

To change a tag, select the placeholder, tap

, tap Style, then tap Tag. Delete the existing tag, then type your own.

Change a slide layout’s placeholder text

You can change the placeholder text on a slide layout for the title, subtitle, and more. This is especially useful if you want to create a theme to share with others.

Add linked objects to make your Keynote presentation interactive on Apple Vision Pro

You can enable objects to act as links that viewers tap to jump from one slide to another. This is especially useful when you want to create an interactive presentation that lets viewers choose their own path through the slideshow.

Objects that can be turned into links include shapes, lines, images, image galleries, drawings, text boxes, equations, groups of objects, and animated drawings

Add a link to a slide

1. Tap the object you want to turn into a link, tap  in the format bar that appears, then tap Link.
2. Choose one of the slide options or tap Link to Slide and specify the number of the slide you want the link to lead to.
3. To verify the link’s destination, tap , then tap Go to Slide.

Linked text is underlined, and a link button (a curved arrow) appears in the lower-right corner of a linked object. (The link button isn’t visible when you play your presentation.)

Edit or remove a link

• Tap the link button next to the object, tap Link Settings, then select a different destination.
• To remove the link, tap Remove.

Play a presentation interactively

To use linked objects to navigate between slides, you must set your slideshow to play as a Normal or Links Only presentation type (Self-Playing won’t let you use links). You can also set your presentation to play immediately after it’s opened, continuously on a loop, or from the beginning if left idle.

1. Tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, tap Presentation Options, tap Presentation Type, then choose an option that supports interactive presentations:
   • Normal: The presentation changes slides or starts animations when the viewer taps or swipes the screen, or taps a link on the slide. This is useful if you want to present slides sequentially.
   • Links Only: The presentation changes slides only when the viewer taps a link on the slide. This is useful if you want to present an interactive slideshow in a kiosk setting, or if you want to present slides in nonsequential order.
2. Set any of the playback options:
   • Loop Slideshow: Turn on to have the presentation start replaying from the first slide at the end of the slideshow.
   • Restart Show if Idle: Turn on, then pinch and drag the slider to set the amount of idle time with no viewer interaction before the presentation returns to the first slide.

Use text styles in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

Paragraph styles and character styles are sets of attributes—like a font size and color—that determine how text looks. Using text styles helps you keep text formatting consistent throughout your presentation. For example, when you apply the paragraph style Heading to text, that text automatically matches other headings that use that style.

Paragraph styles apply to all of the text in a paragraph, while character styles apply only to a selected word or character. A paragraph style may contain multiple character styles within it.

Every Keynote theme includes predesigned text styles. When you replace placeholder text, your content uses that paragraph style and any character styles it contains. You can add your own text styles, modify existing styles, and delete any you don’t want to keep. Any changes you make to styles affect only the presentation where you changed them.

Note: You can’t apply a paragraph style or character style to text in a table cell.

Apply a paragraph style

1. Select one or more paragraphs, then tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window.

If you don’t see text controls, tap Text.

You can only apply a paragraph style to text in a text box or shape.

Tap the style name below Paragraph Style, then tap a new paragraph style.

Apply a character style

Every Keynote theme includes character styles that consist of formatting attributes such as bold, an underline, or superscript. You can apply character styles to text in text boxes and shapes, but not to text in table cells.

1. Select the words or charactersyou want to format, then tap .

If you don’t see text controls, tap Text.

2. Tap  above the font size controls.

Tap the character style name (it may say None), then tap a character style.

Create or modify a paragraph style
To add a new style, you first modify the text of a paragraph in your presentation to look the way you want, then create the new style based on that text.

1. Select the textwhere you want to create a new style, or tap in text that uses the style you want to change.
2. Tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then change the text appearance (font, font size, color, and so on) however you want.

An asterisk and an Update button appear next to the paragraph style name to indicate that the style has been modified.

3. Do one of the following:
   • Create a new paragraph style: Tap the style name (but not the Update button), tap at the top right of the controls, then tap + at the top left of the controls. The new style is selected and appears with a temporary name (you can type a new name for it). Any text that uses the original style isn’t changed.
   • Apply the changes to the style and keep the same name: Tap Update next to the style name. Any text that uses this paragraph style is updated with the changes.
   • Revert changes to a paragraph style: Tap the style name (but not the Update button), then tap the style name in the Paragraph Style menu (but not the Update button). The Update button is removed and the style is reverted to its original format.

Create a character style

You can create your own character styles for text in text boxes and shapes, but not in table cells.

1. Select the textyou want to format, then tap   in the navigation bar at the top of the window.
2. Use the text controls to change the text appearance, then (if necessary), tap Text to return to the font controls.
3. Tap  above the font size controls.
4. Under Character Style, tap None*.

An asterisk appears next to a style name when the selected text has a formatting change.

5. Tap in the top-right corner of the controls, then tap   in the top-left corner.

The new style is selected in the menu and appears with a temporary name.

Type a name for the new style, then tap Done at the top of the controls.

Modify a character style
You can modify a character style so that all text that uses the character style is automatically updated to match, or create a new style based on an existing style.

1. Select the textthat uses the style you want to change.

Note: If you want to modify a character style that isn’t being used yet in your presentation, first select some text and apply the style to it (see the task above). Then select that text and continue with the steps below.

2. Tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window.

The character style being used appears below Text Color in the controls.

3. Use the text controls to change the text appearance.

An asterisk appears next to the character style name to show that the text has been modified from its original formatting.

4. Tap the right arrow next to the character style name, then do one of the following:
   • Apply the changes to the style and keep the same name: Tap Update next to the style name. Any text that uses this style is updated with the changes.
   • Create a new style with a new name: Tap in the top-right corner of the controls, then tap   in the top-left corner. Type a name for the new style. Only the currently selected text uses this style until you apply it to other text.

Revert changes to a character style: Swipe left on the style name (you see Clear Overrides on the right). The formatting changes for the selected text are removed and the formatting of the original character style is retained.

Why does the style have an asterisk or Update button next to it?
When you change the appearance of text (its color or size, for example), an asterisk (*), or an asterisk and an Update button, appear next to the style name to indicate that it has overrides.

To deal with an override, you can do one of the following:

• Ignore it: Leave the override in place, and keep the edits you made to your text. Other text that uses the style isn’t affected and the asterisk and Update button remain.
• Update the style to incorporate the overrides: Tap Update. The style is updated with your changes, all text in your presentation that uses the style is also updated, and the asterisk and Update button are removed.
• Remove the override: Tap the style name (but not the Update button). In the style menu, tap the style name. Your text reverts to its original appearance and leaves the style unchanged.

If you select some text in a paragraph that has a paragraph style applied to it, and then change its appearance, you may see only an asterisk next to the character style name and not an Update button for the paragraph style.

Redefine a style
You can modify an existing text style, then redefine the style to use the new formatting.

1. Select the textyou modified, then tap   in the navigation bar at the top of the window.
2. Tap the style name that appears (it doesn’t have to be the style you want to redefine).
3. Swipe left on the style you want to modify, then tap Redefine.

The name of the style doesn’t change.

Copy a text style
You can copy just the style of selected text and apply that style to other text.

1. Do one of the following:
   • Select the textwith the style you want to copy. The style of the first character in the text selection is what’s copied. Select carefully—if the first character in your selection is a white space, the text where you paste the style is replaced by white space.
   • Place the insertion point in the text with the style you want to copy. Everything that you would see if you were to begin typing at the insertion point is copied. That includes any paragraph style, character style, and style overrides applied to that text.
2. Tap  in the format bar that appears, then tap Copy Style.
3. Select other text where you want to apply the style, or place the insertion point in text, tap  in the format bar that appears, then tap .

If you place the insertion point in a paragraph or select full paragraphs, text boxes, or shapes, existing paragraph or character styles are replaced with what you paste.

If you select one or more partial paragraphs (for example, one or more words in a paragraph), or a full paragraph and part of another, only character styles and not paragraph styles are applied to the selected text.

Delete a style
You can delete a text style that isn’t being used in your presentation. You might want to do this to simplify the menu.

1. Tap in any text, then tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window.
2. Tap above the font size controls.

Alternatively, if a character style name appears below Text Color, you can tap the character style name.

3. Tap in the top-right corner of the controls.
4. Tap to the left of the style you want to delete, then tap the Delete button that appears on the right.

If the style was applied to text in the presentation, select a replacement style for the text that uses it, then tap Done.

Merge or unmerge cells in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

Merging table cells combines adjacent cells into a single cell. Unmerging cells that were previously merged retains all the data in the new top-left cell.

Here are some restrictions:

• You can’t merge nonadjacent cells or cells from different areas of the table—for example, cells from the body and the header.
• You can’t merge columns or rows.

You can’t split a cell. If a cell has never been merged with another cell, it can’t be unmerged

Merge cells

Select adjacent cells, tap   in the format bar that appears, then tap Merge Cells.

If you don’t see the option to merge the cells, tap the selection.

These are the results of merging cells:

• If only one of the cells contains content prior to merging, the merged cell retains the content and formatting of that cell.
• If multiple cells contain content before merging, all the content is retained, but cells with a specific data format, such as numbers, currency, or dates, are converted to text.
• If a fill color is applied to the top-left cell, the merged cell takes on that fill color.

Unmerge cells
Tap a merged cell, tap 

 in the format bar that appears, then tap Unmerge Cell.

Format dates, currency, and more in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

You can format table cells to display text, numbers, currency, percentages, date and time, and durations denoting a span of time (for example, “3 weeks 4 days 2 hours”). The cell format determines how data in the cell appears.

You can also choose how many decimal places appear in cells that contain numbers, currency units, or percentage values, even if the exact value entered in the cell is more precise than what you want to show.

You can change a cell’s format even if you already typed content in the cell. For example, if you have a table of prices, you can add a currency symbol (for example, a dollar sign $) to cells by formatting them as currency, then selecting the symbol you want.

Format cells
By default, Keynote formats table cells automatically, so letters and numbers appear the way you type them. If you change the data format for a cell, you can always revert back to the automatic format.

1. Select the cellsor table you want to format.

For more formatting options for each cell format, see the tasks below.

Tap

, then tap Automatic, or choose a format like Numbers, Currency, or Duration.

Numbers
By default, cells formatted as numbers display as many decimal places as you type in them. You can change this setting so that cells formatted as numbers display the same number of decimal places.

Changes to decimal settings apply to both numbers and percentages. For example, if you change a cell with a number into a percentage, the number of decimal places displayed doesn’t change.

1. Select the cellsor table you want to format, tap  in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then tap Format.
2. Tap  to the right of Number, tap a format (Number, Scientific, or Fraction), then set the number of decimal places and other display options.

Currency (units of monetary value)
By default, cells formatted as currency display two decimal places. You can change this setting so that cells display as many decimal places as you type in them, or so that all cells display the same number of decimal places.

1. Select the cellsor table you want to format, tap  in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then tap Format.
2. Tap to the right of Currency.
3. To modify how many decimal places show, do one of the following:
   • Display as many decimal places as you type in each cell: Tap  until you reach the Auto setting.
   • Increase or decrease the number of decimal places displayed: Tap  next to Decimals.
4. To show the thousands separator, turn on Thousands Separator.
5. To display negative values within parentheses, turn on Accounting Style.
   To select a different display style, tap a red or black option.
6. To select a currency symbol, tap Currency, then tap the symbol you want.

Percentages

By default, cells formatted as a percentage display as many decimal places as you type in them. You can change this setting so that all cells display the same number of decimal places.

Changes to decimal settings apply to both percentages and numbers in a selected range of cells. For example, if you change the format of a cell from a percentage to a decimal, the number of decimal places displayed doesn’t change.

1. Select the cellsor table you want to format, tap   in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then tap Format.
2. Tap to the right of Percentage.
3. Do one of the following:
   • Display as many decimal places as you type in each cell: Tap  until you reach the Auto setting.
   • Increase or decrease the number of decimal places displayed: Tap next to Decimals.
4. To show the thousands separator, turn on Thousands Separator.
5. To select how negative values are displayed, tap a red or black option.

If you format a cell that already contains a value, the value is assumed to be a decimal, and it’s converted to a percentage. For example, 3 becomes 300%.

Date and time

1. Select the cellsor table you want to format, tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then tap Format.
2. Tap to the right of Date & Time.
3. Tap the options that match the display formats you want for Date and Time.

If you tap None below Date or Time, no date or time is displayed in the cell, even if a date or time was entered and used in calculations.

The date and time options depend on your device’s Date & Time settings.

If you don’t enter both a date and a time, Keynote adds a default value for you. For example, if you type “1:15 PM,” Keynote adds today’s date by default.

Durations (units of time)
By default, cells containing duration data are automatically formatted to display all the time units you enter. You can change this setting so that duration cells display only certain units of time (for example, only hours, not minutes, seconds, or milliseconds), even though more precise duration values have been entered in the cell and are used in formulas that make calculations based on units of time.

1. Select the cellsor table you want to format, tap   in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then tap Format.
2. Tap to the right of Duration.
3. To show or hide time unit labels, tap an option below Format:
   • None: Hides all time unit labels.
   • Short: Displays time unit labels as abbreviations—for example, “m” for minutes.
   • Long: Displays time unit labels fully spelled out.
4. To display the same kinds of units, turn off Automatic Units.

A range selector appears.

5. Pinch and drag the left or right end of the range selector to encompass the scope of the time duration you want to use, from weeks (Wk) to milliseconds (Ms).

If you change the duration format after you enter data in the cells, the data automatically adjusts to the new duration format you set.

Animate objects onto and off a slide in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

To make your presentation more dynamic, you can animate the text and objects on a slide so they appear, disappear, or both. For example, you can make text appear on the slide one bullet point at a time, or make an image of a ball bounce onto the slide.

Object animations are called build effects. Different build effects can be applied depending on whether the object is a text box, chart, table, shape, or type of media (photo or video).

Moving an object onto a slide is building in. Moving an object off a slide is building out.

Animate an object onto and off a slide

1. On the slide, tap the object or text box you want to animate, tap  in the format bar that appears, then tap Animate.
2. Do any of the following:
   • Animate the object onto the slide: Tap Add Build In.
   • Animate the object off the slide: Tap Add Build Out.
   • Animate the object on the slide: Tap Add Action.
3. Choose an animation, then tap .
   A preview of the animation plays when you choose an animation.
4. To set animation options, such as the duration and direction, tap the animation at the bottom of the window

To make text and objects appear piece by piece—for example, to have a pie chart appear one wedge at a time—tap Delivery, then tap an option.

The options you see depend on the animation. These build types require special steps:

• Opacity: To specify how transparent the object is at the end of the animation, pinch and drag the Opacity slider. If you want the object to end up invisible, pinch and drag the slider all the way to the left.
• Rotate: To change the direction of rotation, tap Clockwise or CounterClockwise. To choose the rotation angle, pinch and drag the Angle slider. To choose the number of rotations, tap  or   next to Rotations.
• Scale: To set how big the object is at the end of the animation, pinch and drag the Scale slider. You can also drag any blue dot around the transparent ghostobject on the slide to set the object’s final size.
• Create Path: See “Create a motion path,” below.

Create a motion path

You can create a motion path for an object so that it moves around the slide.

1. On the slide, tap to select the object or text box you want to animate, tap in the format bar that appears, then tap Animate.
2. Tap Add Action, then tap Create Path.
3. To draw the motion path, pinch and drag the object with your finger.

Change the order and timing of builds in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

You can change the order in which builds appear for all animated objects on a slide, and specify when they appear in relation to each other (for example, simultaneously or one after the other).

You have a lot of flexibility in how you order builds. For example, you can have all the builds for one object play before the builds for another object begin. Or you can interleave the builds, so the builds for one object take turns appearing with the builds for another object.

1. Tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then tap Animate.
2. Tap at the top of the window.
3. To change the order of a build, pinch and hold the build, then drag it to a new position.

   • After Transition: The build plays after the slide transition. To set the amount of time that passes before the build plays, tap next to Delay.
   • On Tap: The build plays when you tap. If you set several builds to play On Tap, the first one plays with the first tap, the second with the second tap, and so on.
   • With Previous: The build plays at the same time as the build before it. This option isn’t available when adjacent builds can’t play at the same time.
   • After Previous: The build plays after the previous build finishes. To set the amount of time that passes before the build plays, tap    next to Delay.

Only the relevant options for a build appear. For example, After Transition appears only for the first build.

1. To preview the animation, tap Preview.
   Tap Done in the top-right corner of the screen

Add transitions between slides in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

Transitions are visual effects that play as you move from one slide to the next. For example, the Push transition makes a slide appear to push the previous slide off the screen. You can add a transition between any two slides in your presentation.

A Magic Move is a transition that creates the effect of objects moving from their positions on one slide to new positions on the next slide when you play your presentation.

Add a transition

1. In the slide navigator on the left, tap to select the slide you want to add a transition to.

The transition plays after this slide as you move to the next one.

2. Tap the slide again, tap , then tap Transition.
3. Tap Add Transition at the bottom of the window, then tap a transition.

A preview of the transition plays.

4. Tap .
5. To set the duration, direction, and other settings, tap the transition at the bottom of the window.
   The options you see depend on the transition you added.
   If you set a transition to start automatically, it begins playing immediately after you advance the previous slide.
6. Tap Done in the top-right corner.

Add a Magic Move transition
The easiest way to create a Magic Move transition is to create a slide and add objects to it, then duplicate the slide and rearrange, resize, or reorient the objects on the duplicated slide. Any objects appearing on both slides become part of the transition. Any objects appearing on the first slide, but not the following slide, fade out. Any objects appearing on the following slide, but not the original slide, fade in.

1. In the slide navigator on the left, tap to select the slide you want to add a Magic Move transition to, tap the slide again, tap  , then tap Transition.
2. Tap Add Transition, tap Magic Move, then tap Done.
3. Tap Duplicate to duplicate the slide, or tap Cancel if you already duplicated it.
4. Change the position or appearance of the objects on one or both slides; you can drag objects to new locations, rotate or resize objects, add or delete objects on either slide, and more.

The Magic Move transition is most effective when both slides include at least one common object whose position or appearance has been altered.

5. To preview the transition, tap the first of the two slides in the slide navigator on the left, then tap at the top of the window.
6. To customize the transition duration and timing, tap the first of the two slides in the slide navigator, tap Magic Move at the bottom of the window, then do any of the following:
   • Change how long the transition lasts: Pinch and drag the Duration slider.
   • Change when to start the transition: Tap Start, then tap Automatically or On Tap. When you choose Automatically, you can alter the delay between transitions by dragging the Delay slider.
7. To change how objects move between slides, tap Delivery and Acceleration, then do any of the following:
   • Move text smoothly between slides: Tap a Match Text option:
     • By Object: Move one or more text boxes on the first slide to their positions on the second slide.
     • By Word: Move one or more words on the first slide to their positions on the second slide. You can use this animation to give the effect of words rearranging themselves to form a new sentence.
     • By Character: Move one or more characters on the first slide to their positions on the second slide. You can use this animation to give the effect of letters rearranging themselves to form a new word.
   • Make objects that aren’t on both slides instantly appear or disappear during the transition: Turn off Fade Unmatched Objects.
   • Change how quickly the objects move between locations:
     • None: Move objects at a constant speed.
     • Ease In: Slow objects when they approach their locations.
     • Ease Out: Accelerate objects after they leave their locations.
     • Ease In & Out: Accelerate objects when they leave their locations and slow them when they approach their new locations.
8. Tap Done.

Spelling errors are corrected as you type, unless you turned off the Auto-Correction setting for your Apple Vision Pro. If you turned off this setting, you can still flag spelling errors as you enter text in Keynote presentations. You can also add terms to the dictionary so they’re not marked as misspellings.

Note: Spelling is checked according to the language of the keyboard you’re using, not the language of the document.

Check and correct spelling

1. Tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, tap Settings, then tap Auto-Correction.
2. Turn on Check Spelling, then tap Done.

Misspelled and unrecognized words are underlined in red.

3. Tap a misspelled word, then tap the correct spelling.

If you don’t want to check spelling, turn off Check Spelling.

Add and remove words from the spelling dictionary

• Add a word: Double-tap the underlined word, tap in the format bar that appears, tap Replace, then tap Learn Spelling. The word is added to the dictionary used by Keynote and other apps.
• Remove a word: Double-tap the underlined word, tap  in the format bar that appears, tap Replace, then tap Unlearn Spelling. The word is removed from the dictionary used by Keynote and other apps.

Note: If you add a word to the spelling dictionary, it’s added for all languages.

Look up words
You can quickly look up the definition and spelling of words. Some listings also include a thesaurus entry and a Wikipedia entry.

Tap the word, tap  , then tap Define.

Find and replace text in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

You can search for specific words, phrases, numbers, and characters, and automatically replace search results with new content that you specify. All content, including content on skipped slides and in presenter notes, is included in the search.

Search for specific text

1. Tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then tap Find.
2. In the search field, enter the word or phrase you want to find.
   You can select other options, such as Match Case and Whole Words, to refine your search.
3. Tap the arrows to find the next or previous match.
4. Tap   to close the search results.

Replace found text

1. Tap , then tap Find.
2. Tap to the left of the text field, then tap Find and Replace.
3. Enter a word or phrase in the first field.
4. Enter the replacement word or phrase in the second field.

Important: If you leave the second field blank, all instances of the text are deleted when you replace the found text.

5. Review and change the text matches:
   • Move to the previous or next match without making a change: Tap the arrows.
   • Replace the selected match: Tap Replace.

Replacing a table value updates both the displayed value and the underlying value. For example, if you replace “1/2” with “1/3,” the underlying value changes from “0.5” to “0.333333.”

You can’t replace matching text in table cells that contain a formula.

Use a shortcut to replace text

With a text shortcut, you can type a few characters and have Keynote automatically replace them with the full text. For example, you could create a shortcut that lets you type por so that plan of record is entered automatically.

The text replacement setting applies to all of your Keynote presentations, so if you turn it off in one presentation, it’s also turned off for other presentations.

1. Tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, tap Settings, then tap Auto-Correction.
2. Turn on Text Replacement.
3. Tap Replacements List, then tap .
4. In the Phrase field, type the word or phrase exactly as you want it to appear in presentations.
5. In the Shortcut field, type the letters or characters you want to type in place of the entire phrase.
6. Tap Save.

If you don’t see Save, the shortcut isn’t unique enough and would likely cause unintended replacements. Try a different combination of characters.

7. To test the result, type the shortcut you specified, then tap the Space bar.

Shortcuts are available in all of your Keynote presentations when text replacement is on.

Add highlights and comments in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

You can add highlights and comments to text, objects, charts, table cells, and slides. A small square appears next to text and shapes, and a small triangle appears in the corner of a table cell, to indicate a comment is attached.

When you don’t want comments to be visible, you can hide them. Highlights are never visible when presenting.

Tip: If you want highlights that are visible in your final presentation, add a background color to text in any color. This type of highlight isn’t included with Keynote review tools.

Add or remove a highlight
You can highlight text everywhere except in charts and table cells.

Note: If the presentation is shared with others, only you and the presentation owner can delete your highlight. If someone else adds a comment to your highlight, the author name and color of the highlight changes to the comment’s author, and you can’t delete the comment.

• Add a highlight: Select text, tap in the format bar that appears, then tap Highlight.
• Remove a highlight: Tap the highlighted text, tap  in the format bar that appears, then tap Remove Highlight.

Set the author name for comments

The author name appears in the upper-left corner of comments. You can change the name at any time.

1. Tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, tap Settings, then tap Author Name.
2. Type a name, then tap Done on the keyboard.

Any comments you made previously in the presentation are changed to show the new name, and comments you made in other presentations are also updated.

The new author name also becomes the default author name for new Keynote presentations and replaces the author name in all of your other presentations.

The name doesn’t apply to a presentation that’s shared with others. For shared presentations, the name that appears in comments and in the participant list is the name you use with your Apple ID. To change the name (without changing your Apple ID), visit the Apple ID account page. After you sign in, tap Edit to the right of your account information, then make your changes and tap Done.

Important: If you change the name used with your Apple ID, the name appears in all apps and other locations that use your Apple ID.

If you stop sharing a presentation, the author name in comments reverts to the author name set in Keynote.

Add, edit, or delete a comment
You can add and edit your own comments, and anyone can delete a comment.

1. Select text, or tap an object or a table cell, tap in the format bar that appears, then tap Comment.

Note: If you tap the background of the slide (so that nothing is selected), you can add a comment to the slide that always stays open. You can resize the comment and reposition it on the slide. Others can’t reply to this type of comment.

2. Type your comment, then tap Done.

A comment marker (in your author color) appears next to the text to indicate that there’s a comment about it.

3. To view, edit, or delete your comment, do one of the following:
   • Open a comment: Tap the comment marker.
   • Edit a comment: If you’re the comment’s author, tap the comment marker, tap  next to the comment, then tap Edit Comment.
   • Delete a comment: Tap the comment marker, then tap at the bottom of the comment. If there are replies to the comment, this action deletes the entire conversation. You can delete an individual reply only if you’re the author of the reply or the presentation owner.

If the comment is on the slide background, move the pointer over the comment, then tap

.

   • Go to the next or previous comment (or highlight): Tap the arrows at the bottom of a comment.

If the comment is on the slide background, move the pointer over the comment, then tap the arrows.

• View detailed information about the date and time the comment or reply was added: Tap  next to the comment or reply. Only the author of the comment or reply and the presentation owner can see this information.

To close the comment, tap outside it.

Reply to a comment or edit your reply

Anyone you share the presentation with can reply to a comment.

1. Tap the comment marker.
2. Do any of the following:
   • Add a reply: Tap Reply at the bottom of the comment, type your reply, then tap Done. You can reply as many times as you like.
   • Edit your reply: Tap  next to the reply you want to edit. Tap Edit Reply, make your changes, then tap Done.

Send or collaborate on a presentation in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

You can send a copy of a Keynote presentation using AirDrop, Mail, Messages, or another service. You can also collaborate on the presentation with others using iCloud.

Before you send a copy of your presentation to a recipient, you can password-protect it to restrict access to the presentation and provide extra security.

Send a copy of your presentation

Tap 

 in the navigation bar at the top of the window, tap Send Copy, then choose how to send it.

Tap 

 to add another service to the options (you may need to swipe to see   ).

In Keynote, the presentation opens in reading view.

You can also send a copy when you Export to PowerPoint or another file format, such as PDF, Microsoft PowerPoint, Movie, and more. Tap  , then tap Export.

Collaborate on a presentation

When you collaborate on a presentation with others using iCloud, you can set permissions for other collaborators (such as allowing them to add other participants), and all the collaborators can see everyone’s changes.

Note: You can’t collaborate on a locked presentation.

1. Open the presentation you want to share, tap , then tap Collaborate.

To share a folder in iCloud Drive, pinch and hold it, then tap Share Folder.

2. To change the access and permissions, tap the share options below Collaborate.
3. Choose how to send your invitation (for example, using Messages or Mail).

If you send the invitation in Messages, you get activities updates in the Messages conversation when someone makes changes in the shared presentation. Tap the updates to go to the shared presentation.

Edits you and others make to the presentation appear in real time. Insertion points and selections of text and objects appear in different colors to indicate where others are currently editing. If you don’t want to see them, tap

, then turn off Participant Cursors.

You can’t view the activity stream on Apple Vision Pro, but if you open the presentation on another device (like iPhone), you see the changes made while you (or other participants) were working on Apple Vision Pro.

Change sharing settings

• Manage a shared presentation: Tap , then tap Manage Shared Presentation.
• Remove people: Tap the collaborator you want to remove, then tap Remove Access.

Edit while offline

If you see a message that you’re offline, you can continue to work on the presentation; the next time you’re online, changes are uploaded to iCloud automatically.

Here are a few things to keep in mind while editing a shared presentation when you’re offline:

• To send a copy of the presentation with your changes to someone else before uploading your changes, tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then tap Export and Send. This method ensures that your changes are included. By contrast, if you use the Files app to attach the presentation to an email message, for example, the edits you made while offline are not included.
• If other participants who are online delete objects or slides that you’re editing offline, the edits you made to those objects are not incorporated when you go back online.

To learn more, see the Edit while offline section in the Apple Support article About collaboration for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

Export to PowerPoint, animated GIF, or another file format in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

To save a copy of a Keynote presentation in another format, you export it in the new format. This is useful when you need to send the presentation to people who are using different software. Any changes made to the exported presentation don’t affect the original. Keynote also remembers the last export settings you used.

Note: If the original file has a password, it applies to copies exported in PDF and PowerPoint formats.

Save a copy of a Keynote presentation in another format

1. Open the presentation, tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then tap Send Copy.

To show each build on its own page, in the same order as builds appear in the presentation, turn on “Include Each Stage of Builds.”

Tap Image Quality, then choose an option (the higher the image quality, the larger the file size). If you added image, drawing, or video descriptions for assistive technology (for example, VoiceOver), they’re automatically exported. To include accessibility tags for large tables, tap Accessibility, then tap On.
