I am using Keynote a lot, but I mostly import PDF and JPEGS that I create using other apps. Sometimes I am not happy with the way the graph looks in keynote, so I go change it and place it again. But I found another easier way of doing this. First of all, notice that a Keynote presentation is really folder containing many objects, including the files you have placed in it. For example, I have a presentation called "fish.key;" using the Terminal, type:
% cd /folder/with/presentationYou will see a bunch of things including your own imported graphic files. If you, for some reason, change one of those, all you have to do is place a new copy of the file in the presentation folder (close Keynote first) using cp:
% cd fish.key
% ls
% cp anyfile.jpg ~/Documents/fish.key/Launch Keynote and open your presentation and the new version of your graphic file while be in the expected slide.
