Add a link

You can turn text, images, and shapes into links that perform any of several actions when you tap them during a presentation. Objects that have links appear just like normal objects in your presentation.

As you type text in a text box or shape, Keynote automatically detects valid web addresses (URLs) or email addresses. (The address must be followed by a space, tab, or return character, or one of many punctuation symbols, including quotation marks, parentheses, and brackets.) URLs and email addresses become active and are underlined to indicate that they’re links.
