In data storytelling, you use a story to collect and present insights and ideas to your audience. A story is presented as a timeline with one or more slides, and can be based on traditional data storytelling structures (such as a three-act play, hero’s journey, and so on).
Stories are contained within an app. As there is a connection from a story to its app it is possible for you to access the live data to discover new and hidden stories.
To build a story you use time-based snapshots of your data visualizations and embedded sheets and place them on the story’s timeline.
You can, for instance add text and shapes, put emphasis on certain insights with visual effects, apply styling, and so on, to make the story compelling and engaging, and its purpose very clear.
