Say hello to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sway.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sway<\/a>! Sway is an entirely different way to express yourself and bring your ideas to life. When your ideas are born, you want to explore, visualize and share them\u2014quickly and easily, wherever you happen to be, and on whatever device you have. You want your ideas to be understood. Sway helps you do just that. It\u2019s a new way for you to create a beautiful, interactive, web-based expression of your ideas, from your phone or browser. It is easy to share your creation and it looks great on any screen. Your ideas have no borders, edges, page breaks, cells or slides. Your mind is a continuous canvas, and Sway brings this canvas to life. Sway helps you focus on the human part: your ideas and how they relate to each other. Sway takes care of the design work\u2014a Sway is ready to share with the world as soon as it is born.<em>&nbsp;<\/em> With today\u2019s announcement and Sway Preview, we are just starting our journey with Sway and want you to help us shape its future. Today, we\u2019re thrilled to kick things off by introducing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"create-and-share-something-new\">Create and share something new<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A \u201cSway\u201d is what we call the canvas you create using Sway, and it\u2019s much more than a document in the traditional sense. It\u2019s built from the ground up for the web and devices. A Sway adapts to fit the device that it\u2019s viewed on, large or small, so your ideas always get the best treatment. A Sway is cloud native: you just drop in your content from your cloud storage, your devices or your social networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: currentColor;\" src=\"https:\/\/sway.com\/s\/red_panda_panorama\/embed\" width=\"760\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Give this embedded Sway a try!

For example, select a few of your photos from OneDrive or Facebook, click <strong>Layout<\/strong> and you can turn them into an interactive photo stack that people can tap to sift through. And that\u2019s just one example\u2014there are a lot more to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/Change-Layout.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/Change-Layout.png 640w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/Change-Layout-199x300.png 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Easily transform how your photos are presented.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/Photo-Stack.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/Photo-Stack.png 640w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/Photo-Stack-300x224.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One example of a Layout for your photos is a stack, where you can tap or click to see the next photo in the stack.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"add-your-content-easily\">Add your content easily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is easy to collect your content from a variety of sources right within Sway. Sway shows you the stuff you have stored in the cloud: just tap or click, drag, and drop it right onto your canvas. Built-in content sources include OneDrive, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, your devices, or even embeds for your other content (coming soon!).

Sway\u2019s built-in design engine takes the hassle out of formatting your content by putting all of it into a cohesive layout as you create. This means that from the first word, image, Tweet, or graphic you add, your Sway is already being formed for you. This is thanks to a lot of Microsoft Research technology we&#8217;ve brought together in the background. As you add more of your content, Sway continues to analyze and arrange it based on the algorithms and design styles we&#8217;ve incorporated. You can adjust and customize the format Sway has created in easy and intuitive ways. Want a picture to stand out? Don&#8217;t worry about exact pixel heights and widths or whether you have the design chops to keep things looking good. Just tap or click the image in your Sway and tap or click the star icons to emphasize it. Sway takes your natural feedback and works its magic almost instantly. Want to rearrange your ideas? Just drag and drop any set of your content where you want, and watch your Sway react. This type of simple guidance from you helps Sway understand how your different ideas relate to each other. Sway uses your input to update the look of your creation accordingly and adapt it to display appropriately across devices. This means your Sway always looks great\u2014even when you\u2019re building it on a mobile device and others are viewing it on a desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"573\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/Red-Panda.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/Red-Panda.png 573w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/Red-Panda-300x294.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tap or click to showcase a photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/Bamboo-food.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/Bamboo-food.png 506w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/Bamboo-food-300x228.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Drag and drop to place or reorder your content.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sway&#8217;s dynamic nature also means you can match the way your Sway flows to how you want to share your ideas. Sway offers a traditional linear, scrolling <a href=\"http:\/\/aka.ms\/swayfeatured2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vertical<\/a>&nbsp;layout and a fun <a href=\"http:\/\/aka.ms\/swayfeatured7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">horizontal<\/a>&nbsp;one to pan through too. But maybe your ideas need something a bit different. For example, there is a <a href=\"http:\/\/aka.ms\/swayfeatured3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">high-level concepts<\/a> structure that gives section overviews before jumping into the details. There\u2019s a <a href=\"http:\/\/aka.ms\/swayfeatured5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flashcard<\/a>&nbsp;layout where you can flip over digital cards to see their details. You can pan and zoom over a single flat 2-D canvas, or <a href=\"http:\/\/aka.ms\/swayfeatured1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fly in 3-D<\/a>. Sway lets you personalize and share your ideas in a way that makes the most sense to you. And, if you feel adventurous, give the <strong>Remix!<\/strong> button a try to see what layout and style Sway suggests. Your content is still safe, and you can always <strong>Remix!<\/strong> again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-sway-for-me\">Is Sway for me? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, Sway will help people quickly create and share their polished, interactive content for all sorts of uses. Whether you\u2019re a student pulling together your digital report on the red panda, a professional compiling an annual shareholder report, or a do-it-yourselfer sharing your woodworking&nbsp;expertise, Sway can help get you up and running quickly with something polished and presentable that expresses your ideas.

We have so much more planned. We&#8217;ll do more of the basics of course, such as hooking up to more sources for your content, offering Sway in more languages, providing more styles and layouts, and giving you even more fine grained control over your output. We\u2019ll expand the set of business-specific features, too. A few examples include OneDrive for Business and SharePoint connectivity, integrating the Office Graph, and capabilities for information protection and IT management. We\u2019ll continue to add new delights we hope you&#8217;ll realize you never could live without. This is just the beginning.
