Highlight text in Keynote on iPad

You can highlight text in text boxes and in shapes. These highlights aren’t visible in printed presentations.

When multiple people are working on a presentation, each person’s highlights appear in a unique color. To learn how to change your color, see Set your author name for comments.

Tip: If you want highlights that are visible in your final presentation, add a background color to text in any color. This type of highlight isn’t included with Keynote review tools.

Add or remove a highlight

You can highlight text everywhere except in charts and table cells.

Note: If the presentation is shared with others, only you and the presentation owner can delete your highlight. If someone else adds a comment to your highlight, the author name and color of the highlight changes to the comment’s author, and you can’t delete the comment.

  • Add a highlight: Select text, then tap Highlight.

  • Remove a highlight: Double-tap the highlighted text, then tap Remove Highlight.

Highlights added this way aren’t visible in printed or PDF documents. To add permanent highlights, see Add a background color to text.

Add a comment to highlighted text

  1. Tap the highlighted text.

  2. Tap the Forward button, tap Comment, then type your comment.

  3. Tap Done.
