If you build presentations but get distracted by the slides, this could make your life a whole lot easier. At this point, with an outline built, I can easily create my Keynote presentation and start polishing it and adding in all the visual fanciness. With this outline in hand (er, on my pasteboard), I headed back to Keynote and tried pasting it into the Outline view:Ī couple clicks to make sure the slides had the proper style (by reapplying the master style to the slides), and I had generated an entire presentation in a matter of seconds. So I popped open Pages and started writing an outline and copied it to my pasteboard: This morning I had the idea of “well, what about other outline modes, like the one in Pages?”. It is really easy to get distracted from what you’re doing and start focusing on text alignment, font sizes, animations, slide styles, and so on. There are these huge slides sitting right next to your outline and you cannot make them go away. However… the visual aspect is still there. In the early phases of building a deck, this is really important. Outline mode is a powerful way to build slides, because it allows you to focus on the structure and flow of your content, without getting distracted too much by the visual aspect. You can also select from the share options that are available. Select one of the options to best notify the person (s) you want to collaborate on a document with. You will then be prompted to add people to share and collaborate with. One of the really cool tricks I learned about Keynote was to quickly build slides using Outline Mode, like so: Once we click on Collaborate, click Continue from the introduction screen. I grew very used to its precision and elegance, and its overall ease-of-use. During my time at Apple, I got to use the app a lot and was constantly amazed by how powerful and capable it is.
