Installing KeynotePro Themes & Templates in Keynote or Pages for iOS.

Updated 03/30/2018

Overview

For the concluding several years, we've used our iOS QuickLaunch functionality to deliver starter files with pre-applied themes to our customers using Keynote for iOS. Thanks to contempo updates, nosotros're now able to leverage that functionality on native .kth theme files themselves, allowing u.s. to initiate installation of our themes directly into your Keynote for iOS Theme Chooser from the KeynotePro website.

If you've ever used our QuickLaunch process to get a theme onto your iOS device, the updated Direct Install process will be very familiar - but rather than ending upward with a unmarried instance of the theme pre-applied to a new .key file in Keynote for iOS, yous'll now stop up with a desktop-similar native theme feel, with the theme appearing in the My Themes tab of the Theme Chooser that appears when y'all create a new document (shown higher up). It'due south a big, big improvement over the old QuickLaunch workflow - and goes a long way toward providing a more than consistent feel between desktop & mobile authoring scenarios moving forward.

We're also expanding your options for mobile authoring in the procedure – HD Themes accept joined their SD counterparts in the Directly Install lineup, and will now appear among the download options visible when you Sign In with an iOS device.

Our first moving ridge of Direct Install is live today for all of our 2017-2018 releases for Keynote - including Disruptor, Geneva and Hyperion - and will exist deploying to the rest of our Keynote catalog in the coming weeks. Old-fashion, SD-only QuickLaunch files remain available for themes that accept still to make the transition. Update 3/thirty: All currently shipping Keynote Themes have made the transition to Direct Install at this fourth dimension.

What most Pages?

All of our NXT-Generation Pages Templates are fully compatible with this process, and will be joining the lineup in some capacity - however - we have boosted server-side work to implement earlier nosotros can integrate the U.s./ISO split into the file-handoff architecture, every bit information technology'south a scrap across the scope of what this functionality was originally designed to support.

In the meanwhile, you can install any of the latest Pages Templates you'd like on your iOS device manually - but follow the Custom Themes/Templates method below - and we'll update this page again one time our Pages library is in step with the Keynote side of things.

As well bear in heed that our Pages Template construction is very much Desktop-oriented in terms of the page/layout options available - particularly when it comes to the brochures, newsletters or posters - and some files may prove more than unwieldy than others in a mobile authoring context. Our Straight Install implementation will initially focus on Word-Processing mode documents that would occur more naturally than others in mobile scenarios* (update below) - generating quick Letters, Invoices, Memos or Reports, for example - and we'll leave the more circuitous documents to the desktop installs until we tin can get a sense of the bodily utility provided by offering them on mobile devices.

Update three/thirty: the updated Pages 7 / Pages for iOS 4 architecture now includes Folio Masters, which volition allow us to build more than mobile-optimized Page Layout templates moving forrard. Nosotros'll update this page once nosotros accept updated timetables for deployment.

Installing Custom Themes/Templates

The Directly Install method works great for our stock Themes & Templates, but it's of limited utility if y'all're running a customized Theme or Template as your baseline. For customized Theme or Template builds, you'll need to handle the file transfer manually, and thank you to iCloud Bulldoze this couldn't exist easier.

On a Mac, open your iCloud Drive in Finder - you should meet sub-folders for both Keynote and Pages. You can create a sub-binder in either location called "Install" to keep things organized if y'all similar - and copy the .kth or .template file(s) you'd like to install into the respective App's folder (or your sub-folder therein).

Back on your iOS device, these volition show upward in your files just like any other .central or .pages files you're currently working on (hence the Installs folder suggestion) - just tap the files ane by one, and Keynote or Pages will prompt y'all to add together the Theme or Template to your Chooser. Once installed, yous can actually delete the version dorsum in your Installs binder to keep things tidy or conserve infinite.

Moving Forward

The initial transition of the Keynote catalog should be completed over the adjacent few weeks time. Supplemental and Improver file access will be phased in thereafter on an ongoing basis. We have no stock-still timeline every bit of even so on the Pages side of things, but will update this page as more than information becomes bachelor.
