Customize the toolbar

The toolbar at the top of the Keynote window gives you quick access to the controls you need and the actions you perform as you work in Keynote. You can add, remove, and rearrange toolbar buttons.

Main window with format inspector open

Arrange toolbar icons

  1. Choose View > Customize Toolbar (from the View menu at the top of your screen, not from the View button in the toolbar).

  2. Do any of the following:

    • Add or remove items from the toolbar: Drag an item to the toolbar to add it. Drag an item away from the toolbar to remove it.

    • Rearrange items in the toolbar: Drag an item to reorder it.

      Note: The buttons for the Format, Animate, and Document sidebars can’t be separated and must be moved together.

    • Reset the toolbar: To restore the toolbar to its default setting, drag the set of buttons at the bottom of the window to the toolbar.

    • Remove button names: Click the pop-up menu at the bottom of the window, then choose Icon Only. By default, Keynote shows icons and text.

  3. Click Done.

You can also hide the toolbar by choosing View > Hide Toolbar (from the View menu at the top of your screen). To show it again, choose View > Show Toolbar.
