Choose how to navigate your presentation on Mac
When you design your Keynote presentation, you can customize your slideshow’s navigation method. Normally, the presenter or viewer changes slides by pressing the Right Arrow or Left Arrow key, or by clicking the mouse or trackpad. However, you can also set your presentation to change slides automatically or only when the presenter or viewer clicks a link on the slide.
To set how to navigate your presentation, do the following:
Open the presentation.
In the Document
sidebar, click the Document tab.Select one of the following options in the Presentation Type menu:
Normal: The presentation changes slides or starts animations when the presenter or viewer presses the Right Arrow or Left Arrow key, or clicks a link. This is useful if you want to present the slides sequentially.
Links Only: The presentation changes slides or starts animations only when the presenter or viewer clicks a link. This is useful if you want to present an interactive slideshow, or if you want to present slides in nonsequential order. To learn more about using links to create interactive slideshows, see Add linked objects to make your presentation interactive.
Self-Playing: The presentation advances and starts animations automatically, with no interaction needed to navigate between slides. To learn more about self-playing presentations, see Make a presentation advance automatically.
To play the presentation, click to select the slide you want to begin with in the slide navigator or light table, then click 
in the toolbar.
