Drag the handle along the timeline to move back through time and look at older

versions of the presentation.

When you find a version that you want to inspect more closely, click its image.

The version moves to the foreground, where you can click different slides to view them,
select items on a slide, open the inspectors, and copy objects or inspector settings.

Do any of the following:

To completely restore the older version, click Restore when the version you want

Â

is in the foreground. The restored document appears on your regular desktop,
replacing the last version you were working on prior to viewing the older versions.
(That version is then saved in the timeline, if you want to retrieve it.)
To restore only an object, inspector setting, or text from the older version, copy the

Â

item by selecting it and pressing Command-C, and then click Current Document to
view the current version of the presentation. Locate the slide where you want to
paste the item you just copied and click to insert the cursor where you want the
item to appear on the slide. Paste the item by pressing Command-V.
