In Keynote, there are 3 main new functions. Those include Scribble, Outline View and Web videos. With Scribble, you can write with your Apple Pencil and your words will turn to text. Scribble is on by default.

As you enter text with Apple Pencil, you can do any of the following:
- Delete a word: Scratch it out.
- Insert text: Tap and hold in a text area, then start writing when a space opens.
- Join or separate characters: Draw a vertical line between them.
- Select text: Circle text or draw a line through it. Drag the selection handles with your finger to change the selection.
- Start a new paragraph: Tap

- Show a keyboard: Tap
in the toolbar, then tap keyboard keys to correct text, delete characters, add spaces, and more.
- Undo the last action: Tap
