Office Sway: bringing more search and more intelligence

From the beginning, Sway has aimed to help people easily create and share fantastic content that looks great on any device. Today, we’re thrilled to start bringing the intelligence of Bing Image Search into Sway Preview. These features allow you to search for content, review any applicable license terms, as well as expand Sway’s intelligent assistance to help you with content searches. It’s now easier than ever for you to use Sway to express your ideas using a variety of multimedia.

More search

Currently in Sway Preview it is easy to collect your content from a variety of cloud-connected sources already built right into Sway. Simply navigate to a source, tap or click your content, and then drag and drop it into your Sway. It’s what being part of the ‘cloud’ really means. We’ve already seen a great response to the built-in sources we started with, which include OneDrive, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and your device’s local storage.

We also promised to expand that list of built-in sources over time. We’ve been listening to your feedback from UserVoice and directly through Sway via the “+Add Source” survey option in the content sources drop down. In response to requests from users (particularly in the education space) about wanting to be able to search for Creative Commons licensed images directly from the Internet, we’ve integrated Bing Image Search functionality into Sway! Now you can search for images tagged with Creative Commons licenses within Sway.

The list of sources from which you can add content directly into Sway is growing with the rollout of Bing Image Search built directly into Sway and Suggested searches. It also includes a “+Add Source” option where you can give feedback on other services you’d like to see us add.
Simply click the source dropdown and select Bing. Type anything into the search bar, press Enter and get back the results for a Bing Image Search. A URL to the source of the image is provided, which allows you to navigate to the original image and review the license terms to make sure your use is permitted. You are responsible for respecting others’ rights, including copyright. Learn more here.

Just like with Sway’s other sources, you can simply drag and drop any image from the Bing Image Search results right into your Sway. No need to first download an image to your hard drive and then upload it to Sway.

You can expand your search by clicking the “Show all results” button, but you are still responsible for respecting the rights of others.

It’s easy to drag and drop images from Bing Image Search results directly into your Sway.
Once you’ve included an image from Bing Image Search, any viewer with whom you’ve shared your Sway can see the source of that image and applicable license terms. They can simply click or tap the image to view it in full-screen mode, and the attribution will appear as a URL in the lower right corner. As an author, while editing your Sway, you can still see what this viewing experience will look like when you enter Preview mode (click “…” and then “Preview”).

Integrating Bing Image Search is just the first step in our continuous journey to expand the value that Microsoft’s search platform can add to Sway. We’ll also bring more of Microsoft’s connected consumer and business services into Sway, along with other sources of content you are authorized to use (please continue to provide feedback on additional sources through UserVoice, or in the “+Add Source” option in the content sources dropdown in Sway). This way, Sway will continue to make it easier than ever for you to incorporate your content to bring your ideas to life.

More intelligence

With Bing integration, we are also expanding Sway’s ability to assist you in the creation process by anticipating what content you might want to incorporate. Sway continuously analyzes what you’ve written and suggests terms for related Bing image searches, which you can initiate with just a tap or click. After initiating a search, you’ll see results for images tagged with Creative Commons licenses that you may be able to use.

When you first open the Add Content pane, Sway defaults to the “Suggested” option. From the first word you add to your Sway, Suggested searches uses natural language processing to begin showing tags for related words and phrases you might be interested in, based on what you’ve already written. When you see a tag you like, tap or click it to perform the Bing Image Search based on these words or phrases. After you confirm your use is permitted, you can just drag and drop any desired image result right into your Sway! Your viewers are able to click the image to see its attribution (described earlier in this blog).

By continuously analyzing the content you’ve already included, Sway can now suggest related Bing image searches you can choose to perform even if you never use those specific terms in your text.

Just tap or click a word or phrase tag from Suggested to perform a Bing Image Search!
Then, just drag and drop any image result right onto Sway.
As you add or change your content, Sway continues to re-evaluate which search terms and topics you might find relevant. You’ll notice that in addition to picking out relevant topics from your text, Suggested is also using the power of Bing to find related concepts you may not have thought to search for. Additionally, Sway weights its suggested search terms towards the specific content in the card you’re currently working with in the Storyline. That way, you get suggested search terms that are particularly relevant to you in real time. For example, if you’re writing about Italy, but you’re working in a section about history and philosophy, Sway will tailor its suggested searches to related topics such as Venice, Thucydides, Baths of Caracalla, Giorgio Napolitano—even if you didn’t specifically mention them by name.

At any point, while Suggested is open, you can initiate a manual Bing search of Creative Commons images in the “Search Bing” box at the top of the Add Content pane. This saves you the extra clicks of selecting Bing from the dropdown menu and ensures that you’re only one step away from the great content you want.

When we unveiled Sway Preview, the built-in design and layout engine was the first example of the powerful machine learning and intelligence platform we’re building to make it easier than ever for you to bring your ideas to life. The addition of Suggested searches expands that platform, so Sway can now function not only as your digital design assistant, but your content gathering assistant as well. We’ll continue adding more intelligence capabilities that help you quickly and easily create awesome Sways. Using our machine learning platform, Sway will become an even more personalized content creation assistant: learning your preferences, anticipating your needs, and working for you to help you get more done, more quickly.

We hope you find these features to be a great new addition to Sway!

Exporting Sways

I'm still in school, and for a number of projects I have in my classes I need to use Sway to make and turn them in to my teachers. I'm not used to Windows though, so I have no idea what I'm doing! How do I copy a link for my Sway to email, or directly
export it to another website? (Preferably in-app, though an explanation for doing either through the website will be just as helpful!)

Office Sway now lets you add your OneNote images and more

The promise of Sway is to make it easy for you to add, visualize and share your content in new, interactive and exciting ways. We’ve been continuously making updates during Sway Preview based on your feedback. Today we’re excited to announce a set of changes across the major phases of the Sway creation and sharing process. Check out the details below!

Add your OneNote images to Sway

More third-party sources for embeddable web content

Suggested searches is more powerful

New interactive photo options

More ways to share and grow your audience

Add your OneNote images to Sway

Millions of people love using OneNote to capture and organize information. Teachers in particular love OneNote for organizing lesson plans and other information about their classroom. Today, we’re introducing the first version of OneNote integration in Sway—to help you capture, organize and visualize your ideas in a new and seamless way.

With Sway, it’s easy to add your content from your other apps and services without leaving the app. Now, with the recent integration of OneNote, you can easily add images to your Sways from your OneNote notebooks saved on OneDrive. Whether you capture documents, whiteboards, or business cards using Office Lens; or send your web and screen clips to OneNote using the OneNote Clipper—now you can easily add those images to your Sway to help bring your ideas to life. Simply select OneNote from the drop-down on the Insert tab, navigate to your desired images and drag and drop them into the Storyline.

On the Insert tab, OneNote is the newest source from which you can add content directly into Sway.
Recently added images displays images from your most recently modified OneNote pages. This means the document screenshots you just captured via Office Lens or the web clipping you just sent to OneNote are just a few taps or clicks away in Sway.

Recently added images display images you recently added to your OneNote pages, including the ones from the Office Lens and OneNote Clipper.
Notebooks helps you navigate to the sections of your OneNote notebooks so you can select your desired images.

Browse your OneNote sections to find your desired images.
Learning from you: we realize that images are not the only type of content you may want to add to Sway from OneNote, and as noted above, this is just the first version of OneNote integration in Sway. Before we add more functionality, as part of Sway Preview, we want to make sure we understand which additional capabilities you would like to see from OneNote integration. We’ve added a short two-question survey directly in the OneNote section of the Insert tab. We’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions!

Send us your feedback on what additional capabilities you’d like to see added with OneNote integration in Sway!
More third-party sources for embeddable web content

A few weeks back, we introduced support for easily embedding a variety of web content types from other services directly in Sway–including videos, images, audio clips, maps, charts and documents. This expanded the types of interactive multimedia you can include in Sway to help communicate your ideas.

We’ve since expanded that list even further, to include Office Mix, Infogr.am, Mixcloud, and even Sway itself. You heard correctly—now you can even embed a Sway in a Sway. Imagine a teacher making a Sway to show a bunch of student-made Sways for a class project. Or a Sway with a variety of Office Mix lessons. The possibilities are endless.

Check out this help article to see the updated full list of supported sites and more details. And check out this Sway to see examples of embeddable web content from these new sources.

Suggested searches is more powerful

In December, we added Bing Image Search and Suggested searches, expanding Sway’s ability to help you while you create by anticipating what content you might want to incorporate. Suggested searches uses natural language processing to continuously show you tags for related words and phrases you might be interested in searching on, based on what you’ve already written and the specific content in the area where you’re working in the Storyline.

Now we’re expanding the results of Suggested searches to include YouTube videos and tweets, in addition to images from Bing Image Search. You can continue to select Suggested from the Insert tab and tap or click tags for related words or phrases to initiate searches. The results now include videos, tweets and images tagged with Creative Commons licenses or already within the public domain (you can still choose to expand your search results to include images not tagged with the Creative Commons license by clicking the Show all results button). Just drag and drop any item right into your Sway. Please remember you are responsible for respecting the rights of others, including copyright (learn more here).

Sway’s Suggested search results now include YouTube videos and tweets, in addition to Bing Image Search results.
Sway now also shows you Suggested search tags when Bing, YouTube or Twitter are selected on the Insert tab. This way, it’s easier for you to initiate a Suggested search of content from within the currently selected source. With these two updates to Suggested searches, Sway is an even more powerful content gathering assistant, making it easier than ever to find your content and bring it to life.

Sway now shows Suggested search tags when Bing, YouTube or Twitter are selected on the Insert tab.
New interactive photo options

Over the next few days, Sway will add two more ways to make your images more interactive and engaging!

Comparison will let you use a slider to visually compare two images overlaying each other, instead of seeing them side by side. Moving the slider in either direction will hide more of one image so you can see more of the other.

Slideshow will let you peruse multiple images as a carousel, slider or a slideshow with thumbnails. Slideshows will be perfect for having all your images in one place.

It will be easy to transform your images with these new options. On the Cards tab, you’ll just tap, click or drag to add a Comparison or Slideshow Card to your Sway. In the empty Card, select + Add Content or drag and drop to start adding images.

Drag the Comparison slider in either direction to see more of one image or another.

Peruse multiple images as a slideshow with thumbnails underneath.
More ways to share and grow your audience

Sways are great for sharing, and we’ve heard feedback during Sway Preview that you’d like more ways to control the level at which you share. So, now when you select Share, there are three options:

Public—Are you making a marketing brochure, a portfolio or just expressing yourself, and want to grow your audience? This option makes your Sway discoverable on the Internet. This means anyone can potentially use Bing, Google or other search engines to find, view and even share your Sway. You can gain many more viewers who may find your Sway during the course of their everyday searches.

People with the link—Same as the behavior Sway has had until now, where your Sway is not made available to search engines, but anybody with the unique URL for your Sway can view it, without logging in. This is the default setting for all new Sways and any previously-created Sways.

Just me—Want your Sway to stay private? This option requires you to log in with your personal credentials to see your Sway. Even those with the URL would not be able to see it without your log in information.

Now you can control the level at which your Sway is shared.
As always, we’ll continue to listen to your feedback and improve Sway even more throughout Preview and beyond. If you have any suggestions, please drop us a line on our UserVoice forum!
