Update or revert a paragraph style in Keynote on Mac

When you update a paragraph style, all text in the presentation that uses that style is also updated.

1. Go to the Keynote app on your Mac.

2. Open a presentation, then click anywhere in the text with the override.

3. Click the Text tab at the top of the sidebar on the right, then do one of the following:

   • If there’s an Update button: Click Update.

   • If there’s only an asterisk: Click the style name, then move the pointer over the style name in the Paragraph Styles menu. Click the arrow that appears, then choose Redefine from Selection.

If you don’t want to keep changes you made to text, you can revert the text to its original paragraph style (remove the overrides).

1. Go to the Keynote app on your Mac.

2. Open a presentation, then click the paragraph with the override.

3. In the Format  sidebar, click the Text tab, then click the paragraph style name at the top of the sidebar.

4. In the Paragraph Styles menu, click the style name (it has a grey tick to indicate an override).

   The override is cleared, the text reverts to the original style, and the tick changes to black.
