Apply a slide layout in Keynote on iPad
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 re-apply the slide layout. Re-applying the slide layout won’t delete your content.
Apply a different slide layout
In the slide navigator, tap to select a slide or select multiple slides.
If you don’t see the slide navigator, pinch closed on the slide to zoom out.
Tap
, then tap Layout.If you don’t see Layout, make sure nothing is selected on the slide.
Swipe to see all of the slide layouts, then tap one to apply it.

In the slide navigator, tap to select a slide or select multiple slides.
