Play Options in Microsoft Sway

After you create a Sway, or even while you are editing, you can use the Preview Pane to see results. Yet, seeing a preview in a pane is no substitute for regular, full-screen viewing! To do the latter, you can use the Play option and enjoy your Sway in full-screen view. Follow these steps to explore along:

1. Create a new Sway or open an existing Sway. Figure 1 below shows an existing Sway, opened.

2. Now click the Play button, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 1, above. This will play the Sway in full-screen mode, as shown in Figure 2 below.

There are four options on the top-right in Play view. These options are explained below, as marked in Figure 2 above:

A. Edit

4. Clicking this button will close Play view, and take you back to the Normal edit view in Sway with the conventional tri-paned Sway interface.

B. Change the navigation layout of this Sway

5. Click to bring up a drop-down menu, as shown in Figure 3. Here you will find the Navigation options that enable you to specify how you want others to navigate your Sway by selecting a layout. Currently, there are only three options available. Explore more in our Navigation in Sway tutorial.
