A plain canvas can sometimes be intimidating to use. Sway is more intelligent, acting like a template, using an algorithm to help you present your text, photos, videos and other content in the best possible way. It automatically arranges the content for you in the best layout it works out and you are free to make tweaks as you see fit.
Color schemes, layout styles, ranking items by importance are some of the changes that you can make to your content to emphasize the most significant parts of your work. You can collect content for your Sways from a variety of built in sources including OneDrive, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Once the work is complete, users can share their Sways with others via a web link. The Sway app will become available for iOS, Android and Windows Phone but it is expected to roll out currently to the iPhone and the web first. If you want to try out the preview version of Sway you can sign up for it here. Meanwhile enjoy this cool storytelling app teaser below.
