Editing a story

When new data has been loaded into an app you analyze the data in your app to get new insights based on the new data. You can present your new insights either in a new story or in a edited version of an existing story.

See: Managing data in the app with Data manager

See: Loading data with the data load script

A snapshot's state and selections will not be updated at a data reload. It will always reflect the data that existed at the point in time the snapshot was taken.However, embedded sheets are not static and will be affected by a data reload.

You can easily replace a snapshot of a visualization on a slide by going to the source of the visualization in the app. You will now see the visualization with updated data and can take a new snapshot if you want to use an updated version in your story.

When you take a snapshot you can make an annotation for your snapshot. The annotation helps you distinguish between the different snapshots in the snapshot library when you build your story. The annotation is not visible when you play the story.

Tip noteIf you want to keep the original story you can make a duplicate of the story before you start editing the story.
Tip noteYou can export the story if you want to present it outside of Qlik Sense.
