The Sway home page offers a simple interface. This makes sense because the company claims you can create a story in three minutes.

The main screen gives you several ways to let you begin capturing your story. The bar near the top gives you a few options:

• Create New — Allows you to create a Sway without any predefined setup.
• Start from a Topic — Populates cards with content provided through search results.
• Start from a document — Extracts information from files and adds it to cards for you.

Further down the page, Sway offers assistance by giving you a list of templates to start with, including newsletters, DIY project recaps, and student reports. Another section serves to inspire you by featuring existing Sways. To begin, let’s look at starting a Sway from scratch.
