| 7 | +## Overview |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +This page documents selected features of the macOS app Keynote |
| 10 | +for creating slide presentations. |
| 11 | +It is far from comprehensive. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +## Build Effects |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Build effects gradually display the contents of a slide. |
| 16 | +For example, in a slide with bullet points, |
| 17 | +text boxes, and shapes (such as arrows), |
| 18 | +you may wish to display the bullets one at a time and |
| 19 | +display the text boxes and arrows when a specific bullet is appears. |
| 20 | +To do this: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +1. For each set of text boxes and shapes that should appear together ... |
| 23 | + 1. Select each item in the set. |
| 24 | + 1. Click the animation button (contains two overlapping diamonds) |
| 25 | + in the upper-right to show animation options. |
| 26 | + 1. Click the "Add an Effect" button. |
| 27 | + 1. Select "Appear". |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +1. Select the single set of bullets. |
| 30 | +1. Click the animation button. |
| 31 | +1. Click the "Add an Effect" button. |
| 32 | +1. Select "Appear". |
| 33 | +1. Change the "Deliver" dropdown value to "By Bullet" or "By Bullet Group". |
| 34 | +1. Click the "Build Order" button at the bottom of the panel. |
| 35 | +1. For each non-bullet item ... |
| 36 | + 1. Drag it to below the bullet after which it should appear. |
| 37 | + 1. Change its "Start" dropdown value to "With Build n" or "After Build n". |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +1. Optionally click the "Preview" button to see how |
| 40 | + all the items on the slide will animate into view. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +"With Build" means that multiple items begin their animation at the same time. |
| 43 | +"After Build" means that the animation of that item |
| 44 | +begins after the animation of the preceding item. |
| 45 | +When the effect is "Appear", the animation is instantaneous, |
| 46 | +so there is no visible difference between "With Build" and "After Build". |
