PowerPoint has used dedicated master slides to achieve this for years (hidden by default on Mac, unless one of those localizations is active), but Apple has taken a different approach in Keynote, Pages, & Numbers by extending the capability on a document-wide basis or on an object-by-object basis on text-box objects and shapes – meaning you can convert any layout or master to this format on-the-fly (provided the spatial arrangement is well suited). Vertical Text Support for Chinese, Japanese or Korean language Localizations is new to the 2019 apps, making the iWork apps far more useful to anyone wishing to use traditional vertical-text runs in their presentations or documents using those localizations.
Once again, this doesn't extend to the web apps at this time – but it's supremely handy if you frequently use a set of common Custom Shapes in your presentations or documents.

Similarly, Shape Sync uses the same functionality to sync up any Custom Shapes you define in your Keynote presentations or Pages documents to a shared library among your Mac and iOS devices. But once that file is saved, it's business as usual in terms of sharing, editing, or playback via the web app. Note that while we're referring to this as an ecosystem-wide update, it doesn't actually apply to the web-based Keynote or Pages apps on – you'll still need a Mac or iOS device to apply a custom or 3rd-party theme to a new presentation or document.

From there on, you'll only need to install a theme or template once on your preferred device to have it appear everywhere - and if you've been using the manual install process for Pages while we've been working on expanding DirectInstall to Pages templates, this will definitely save you a few steps getting your templates onto your iOS devices. If you've been installing our themes on the desktop & separately to your iOS device via DirectInstall, you'll likely have a number of duplicates once the initial sync is complete: fortunately, the apps now list which device a theme was initially installed on, making it easy to purge any duplicates via a simple removal.

Templates installed on your Mac or iOS devices now sync via iCloud. Simply install a theme or template to your Mac running Mojave & Keynote 9 or Pages 8 (or an iOS device running version 5.0 via our DirectInstall links for Keynote), and it's immediately added to your My Themes or My Templates library across all of your devices: Theme / Template Sync is new to Keynote 9 & Pages 8, and is a welcome addition for anyone who likes to keep their theme and template library in-sync between your various Macs and iOS devices. Many of the biggest new features this cycle have come to both apps in parallel, adding increased conveniences via deeper iCloud integration, along with localization-specific features that make the entire iWork Suite more useful & accessible to a broader audience than ever before. The Keynote 9.1 & Pages 8.1 Updates arrived June 26th, adding interesting new mid-cycle features to the mix: we've added updated notes to each of the sections below with a deeper look at the new ecosystem-level & app-specific features. All of our currently-shipping NXT-generation themes and templates should perform as expected in the new apps.
#Keynote update upgrade#
If you're already up-to-date with Keynote 8 or Pages 7, the upgrade to Keynote 9 & Pages 8 should feel very familiar, with no major changes to general workflow or the underlying theme / template architectures. With the architectural reboot of the previous cycles now firmly in the rear-view mirror, Keynote 9 and Pages 8 continue to refine & expand on the features and capabilities of the cloud-centric architecture at the heart of their modern lineage.
Keynote and Pages for iOS are updated as well to version 5.0, adopting many of the same core features of the desktop updates and continuing to add increasing feature-parity with the desktop app. The latest generation of iWork is here: Keynote 9 and Pages 8 arrived on March 29th, further refining the latest generation of Apple's presentation and publishing apps and continuing the Second-Era evolution that began with the launch of Keynote 6 & Pages 5. Our updated Upgrade Report is now available, and some of the information below may now be out-of-date at this time.
