I'd like to open two Keynote presentations at the same time

I'd like to open two keynote presentations at the same time. It doesn't work. When I open the second presentation the first one cancels out.

Keynote can open two different presentations and can be viewed side by side (useful for comparing content of two presentations or moving or copying slides between presentations) but Keynote is unable to Play two presentations at the same time.

Try turning off Mission Control on the Mac:

Go to: Apple Menu > System Preferences > Mission Control

in the top half of the window, untick all the options and Dashboard to off
in the lower half of the window remove any keyboard short cuts

click on "Hot Corners", remove any settings in the drop down menus:

Test Keynote again

Reference: Mission Control

For some reason Keynote does not open two different presentations any more that can be viewed side by side. I’ve used this feature for years now, but when I want to open a second presentation the first one disappears. Can you help pls.
