Your first story

Create, build, publish and play your first story in four steps.

Go from an empty story to your screens in four steps. Each step explains the basics and links to the full article.

1. Create a story

On the Stories page, click New Story at the top right. Give your story a Title, choose the Location and the Base Setup: the setup you're building it for. Then click Create. If your organisation has only one setup, Location and Base Setup are filled in for you.

Want a head start? Duplicate one of your organisation's story templates instead.

2. Build your first scene

Your story opens in the Composer with one empty scene. Add a background first, then add media and text from the top bar and place them on the canvas. Select anything to change its settings in the property panel on the right. Everything is saved automatically.

Preparing your own images and videos? See Asset creation guidelines.

3. Preview and publish

Click Preview at the top right of the Composer to click through your story in the browser. When it's ready, click the story title and set Publish to Temporary, or to Permanent if you're allowed to. Your story then appears in TSS Control.

4. Play it with TSS Control

On the TSS Control tablet, select your setup, find your story and tap Play. Tap Control to switch scenes and show or hide assets during your presentation.
