Sway is a web-based application that allows users to create interactive presentations, reports, and newsletters easily. It is designed for users who want to produce visually appealing content without extensive design skills. Key features include easy creation, templates, styles, responsive design, integration with other Microsoft 365 apps, collaboration with colleagues, sharing and embedding, and accessibility features. This app is a versatile tool for creating engaging and interactive content, making it suitable for educators, marketers, and anyone looking to present information creatively. Use examples include uploading a dissertation from a Word document to create a visually appealing presentation or a campus group setting Sway to act as a kiosk presentation flipping through photos. Sway can be set to visually move horizontally or vertically when flipping through slides, giving the presentation an online magazine feel as images slide across.
