merging Keynote presentations on iPad

[joby59]

Hello,
I'm new here, and hoping for some expert advice (in language I can understand )
I am using Keynote on the iPad with my kids in class. How do I merge two presentations into one? i.e.- two kids each do their slides on separate iPads, then I transfer one of them onto the other iPad. I now have two presentations - is there an easy way to merge them into one?
Thanking anyone who could help me out with this
Jo

Hi, Jo! Welcome to iPF from an Austrian member!

The only way to merge two keynote presentations I know would be to paste the slides from one presentation to the other one.

This is how it can be done:
Go to one of the student's presentations, tap one thumbnail (not the slide itself) and hold it. The background will turn blue, and an arrow with several options will appear:




Select "Copy", open the other student's presentation, tap a blank slide (if there is none, create one) there twice.




This was the result in my case when I tried whether or not it will work:





Hope that helps.

Addition:
You can copy more than one slide at a time, when you tap and hold the first thumbnail and tap the following thumbnails afterwards. It will look like this when you select them:




In the other presentation, tap the first slide, as before, and select "Paste". This will copy all the selected slides to the presentation.
