How are you controlling your presentation?


If you just have your iPad, you can swipe left or right on the screen to step through the animation stages.


If you have a keyboard attached (Bluetooth, Magic Keyboard, etc.) then you can use [ and ] to step back and forth through the animation stages.


If you're using Keynote Remote on an iPhone to control the presentation, you can swipe left or right to step through the animation stages.


Hope that helps.
