Create a new presentation

Every new Keynote presentation begins with a theme. A theme is a predesigned set of elements—placeholder text and images, fonts, layouts, coordinated colors, and so on—for creating a presentation. Placeholders give you an idea of what a presentation created with this theme might look like when you use its text and object styles.

Create a new presentation

In the presentation manager, tap Create Presentation, or tap in the toolbar, then tap Create Presentation.
Tap a theme for your presentation.
Do any of the following to build your presentation:
- Tap to add a new slide.
- Double-tap placeholder text to add your own.
- Tap to replace placeholder images with your own.
