Skip or unskip a slide in Keynote on iPhone
If you don’t want a slide to play during your presentation, you can skip it. Skipping is useful, for example, if you want to retain two versions of a slide but you want to show only one of them. You can select and edit skipped slides just as you would other slides. If you’ve chosen to show skipped slides, they appear as horizontal bars in the slide navigator and as dimmed thumbnails in light table view.
Note: If you skip the first slide in a collapsed group, the entire group is skipped when you play the presentation.
If you later decide you want a slide to appear when you play the presentation, you can unskip it.
