How to Search and add Content to Microsoft Sway
Microsoft Sway is similar to PowerPoint which creates visually striking newsletters, presentations and documentation in minutes. What sets it apart from Office presentation software is its integration with your device, social media and the web. Here’s how to get started with Microsoft Sway.
Find and add content to Microsoft Sway
This article gives you a basic overview of finding and adding content to Microsoft Sway. Unlike PowerPoint, Sway does all the formatting, adds themes, fonts and more with its built-in design engine. So you don’t have to be an expert to use it. All you need to do is put your content in and sit back and let Sway take care of the rest. There is even a Remix! button that you can use to see automated looks at a glance. The process includes the following steps:
- Launch Microsoft Sway
- Select Insert from the menu bar

Please note that the content visible to you is only available in a few selected languages.
