6. Creating content in Sway
Sway offers three different layout options for how the content is presented:
vertical (like scrolling through a webpage),
horizontal (continuous scroll sideways),
and Slideshow (similar to PowerPoint). You can switch between layouts in the “Design” tab (click
“Styles”).
7. Sway Templates
• Sway: Sway is much more limited in available templates.
• There are a couple dozen available on the My Sways page.
• You can also save a Sway as a template.
• Within Sway, there are few design templates called “Styles.” The word template is almost too strong in this
case – these control the overall design only. They work with all of the layout choices and are customizable.
