Keynote

Skip or unskip a slide in Keynote on iPad

If you don’t want a slide to play during your presentation, you can skip it. Skipping is useful, for example, if you want to retain two versions of a slide but you want to show only one of them. You can select and edit skipped slides just as you would other slides. If you’ve chosen to show skipped slides, they appear as horizontal bars in the slide navigator and as dimmed thumbnails in light table view.

Note: If you skip the first slide in a collapsed group, the entire group is skipped when you play the presentation.

If you later decide you want a slide to appear when you play the presentation, you can unskip it.

The slide navigator with a skipped slide showing as a horizontal line.

In the slide navigator: Tap the slide to select it, tap it again, then tap Skip Slide or Unskip Slide.
If you can’t see the slide navigator, pinch closed on the slide to zoom out.
In light table view: Tap to select a slide or select multiple slides, then tap or at the bottom of the screen.
In outline view: Tap the top row of the slide in the text outline, tap then tap Skip Slide or Unskip Slide.
