Editing stories

When you load data into an app you analyze the data to get new insights. You can present your new insights in a new story or in a edited version of an existing story. For more information, see Gegevens laden en beheren met Gegevensbeheer and Gegevens laden en transformeren met scripts.

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, live data sheets are not static and will be affected by a data reload.

You can replace a snapshot of a visualization on a slide by going to its source, in the app. The visualization will now have updated data. You can take a new snapshot to use 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.

Voor Qlik Sense: U kunt afbeeldingen uploaden in de map In app in de mediabibliotheek. U moet de Qlik Management Console gebruiken om afbeeldingen naar de standaardmap te uploaden.

De afbeeldingen zijn beschikbaar in de map Standaard in de mediabibliotheek. Als u een app tussen installaties verplaatst, worden de afbeeldingen die u in de app gebruikt gezamenlijk met de app in het qvf-bestand opgeslagen. Als u de app op een nieuw locatie opent, kunt u de afbeeldingen vinden in de map In app in de mediabibliotheek van de app.

Duplicating stories

You can duplicate any story, regardless of whether it belongs to the app or if you created it yourself. The purpose of duplicating stories is to save time by reusing content, and to modify the duplicate to fit your needs.

A duplicated story contains the same content as the original story, and is linked to the same snapshots. The duplicated story will not be updated if the original story is updated. Duplicated stories appear under My stories in app overview and in the story navigator.
