Microsoft Sway overview

What is Microsoft Sway?

Microsoft Sway is a presentation software that helps businesses create interactive reports, presentations, personal stories, and documentation using the built-in design engine. Administrators can modify images, text alignments, backgrounds, font styles, and grids on a centralized dashboard.

The platform offers a slide transition feature, which enables managers to keep images and text together and build professional designs. Microsoft Sway allows teams to generate multiple color palette options and manage animation levels across images. Supervisors can also utilize images, text, videos, and other multimedia to create professional designs on a unified interface.

Microsoft Sway lets stakeholders apply vertical, horizontal, slideshow, and other layouts to group and display content. Operators can also include photos, visuals, and other multimedia content to build interactive presentations.
