Keynotes ghost conflicts

Lucian Laculeanu — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 16:30:18 GMT

So... We are in the second (basic number) iteration of the software using native Keynotes tool.

When are we going to not have the issue of ghost conflicts?

Why do we have to still go through endless maneuvers of deleting, exporting, updating hotlinks, saving, re-mapping and re-importing to clear this issue?

Is this going to be solved by the time I see 4 in the beginning of the AC issue, or should I hope retirement will make this issue dissapear for me?

Operating system used: Mac Intel-based Tahoe 26.5.2

Are there other posts here that describe this issue?

Have you reported it to your local support?

Barry.

[I never used Keynotes, but:] I asked GPT and it says the Keynote database can be brought from one file to the other, similar to attributes with Attribute Manager, but through the Keynotes palette.

Is it then any different from attributes in multi-file projects, where you want to have one file that is the master for attribute management, in which you create new attributes or into which you bring in any intentionally or accidentally created in the other files, and from which you overwrite all the other files whenever there is a conflict (and yes, republish and update modules)?
