Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I make one from an article I already wrote?
Yes. Tap New story, then From an article, and search your articles. The story uses the article headline unless you type a title.
Can I see how people use it?
Yes. Stats shows views, how far readers get, link taps and how many read to the end. It counts without cookies.
Do I need a phone to build it?
No. On a laptop you see the page canvas and properties side by side. On a phone the properties open from the bottom.
