select multiple objects

An object is any item you place on a slide, including images (photos), text boxes, shapes, tables, and charts. To select multiple objects, do one of the following:

  • Touch and hold one object on the screen, then tap the other objects with another finger. Use both hands if it’s easier.

  • Touch and hold an empty area of the screen, then drag the box that appears around the objects you want to select.

  • Tap an object you want to select, tap Select Objects, then tap the other objects, or touch and hold the screen and drag the box that appears around the objects you want to select. To select all objects on the slide, tap Select All. When you finish selecting, tap Done.

  • If your iPad has iPadOS installed and you’re using a Bluetooth keyboard, hold down Shift or Command, then select multiple objects.

Note: If you’re working with inline objects, you can only select and edit one object at a time.
