Change the working view in Keynote on Mac
You can view your slides in different ways to help you organize and edit your presentation:
Navigator 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 click thumbnails in the slide navigator to jump to specific slides, or drag thumbnails to reorganize your presentation.
Slide only view: Displays the slide only, with no thumbnail navigation. This view is useful for focusing on individual slide content.
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 drag the slide thumbnails to change their order.
Outline view: Displays the title and bulleted text of each slide in the sidebar on the left, and a full view of the selected slide on the right. This view is most useful for seeing the flow of text-rich presentations.
Object list: You can see objects in the order they’re layered on the slide, then do things such as change the layering order, group objects, and more. The object list is available only in navigator view and slide only view. See Move and edit objects using the object list in Keynote on Mac.
