Welcome to Microsoft Sway

With Sway, you don't have to worry about spending a lot of time on formatting. Its built-in design engine ensures your creation looks great. If the initial design doesn't suit your preferences, you can easily switch to another or fully customize the layout to your liking.

Sharing your finished Sway is easy - your classmates, and coworkers can view your creations online without needing to sign up, sign in or download anything. Plus, you can adjust the privacy settings for any Sway whenever you want more control over what you share.
