Sway - Creating
You can create a new Sway from scratch, from content in an existing file, or from a topic.
Start creating
Select Get started.
On the Welcome to Sway page, select one of the following:
Create New - to start from scratch.
Start from a topic - to have Sway provide base content for you. Type your topic in the Enter a topic box, and then select Create outline.
Note: If Sway can’t find enough public data on the topic, Sway suggests related topics. Select the most relevant topic, and then select Create Outline.
Start from a document - to import content from an existing file. Browse to and select the file, and then select Open.

Get to know the Storyline
The Storyline is where you type, insert, edit, and format the content that tells your story. Here are some Storyline basics:
Content is arranged in sequential order by adding “cards.”
Each card holds the type of content you want—such as text, images, videos, and even Office documents.
You can rearrange the cards at any time to suit your needs.
Give your Sway a title
Select the Title your Sway placeholder text shown in the first card on the Storyline.
Type a short but meaningful description of what your Sway is all about.

Note: When you create a Sway based on a topic or document, the title is prepopulated for you based on the topic or file name.
