Sway Suggestion Box
Welcome to Microsoft Sway’s Suggestion Box by UserVoice!
To help us build the best version of Sway, we have partnered with UserVoice, a third-party service, to hear your ideas and suggestions. We will read all the suggestions, and we regularly review the ideas and incorporate them into product planning discussions. Please note that the suggestion box is moderated and is a voluntary participation-based project. Please do not send any novel or patentable ideas, copyrighted materials, samples or demos for which you do not want to grant a license to Microsoft. Your use of the portal and your submission is subject to the UserVoice Terms of Service & Privacy Policy, including the license terms.
How it works
• Create a user account if you want to add a new suggestion or vote on existing suggestions.
• Select one of the feedback forums listed.
• Check out the ideas others have suggested and vote on your favorites.
• Search for your suggestion and if you can’t find something similar, you can submit your own.
• Keep suggestions focused on a single idea per post and limited to 25 words or less.
• When you post an idea to our forum, others will be able to subscribe to it and make comments.
In addition to the Sway Suggestion Box, we have…
Show us your Sway
Have you created a Sway that you think is awesome? Then share it with others by posting a link to it in our Show us your Sway page. We might even feature it on www.sway.com.

Improved translation from word to sway
I like to create my sway by first creating a word document and importing it into sway but figuring out how to do this properly has not been well documented or not specific enough.
Sway will separate my word document into header cards and text cards while the headers are easily defined by using a larger font in word the rest of my document ends up on one giant text card. I would like to specify when one text card ends and another is created because sometimes i would like to add a picture to go with a certain paragraph.

Start Document from OneDrive
The Start from a Document button only opens a file on my local drive. I'd expect the documents it starts from should be from my OneDrive, since I don't have everything on my OneDrive on my local disk, ever.

to import pictures with GPS data to be shown on bing / google maps, grouped by location.
Would be a great feature to present pictures. Think about the Nokia story-teller app.

lock for editing
I am having issues with people viewing the Sway while I am still editing it. This kicks me out of editing and I have no way of seeing who is viewing the document to ask them to exit it.
Considering I created this presentation, I don't understand why someone else just viewing it can usurp control of it from me. That should stay with whoever was there first at the very least.
I'm not really sure how anyone even found them either. I haven't shared them with anyone yet.
1 voteSo the behavior you described shouldn’t be happening. If you are editing a Sway, no one should be able to kick you out of it. And if you haven’t shared the Sway, no one should be able to find it. Will you reply to this email to help us understand what is happening better?
1 – What happens when you are “kicked out”?
2 – How do you know someone is currently viewing the Sway?
3 – What are the current share settings of your Sway?Thanks for helping us investigate this bug!

Be able to drag and drop pictures from OneNote at present I have to save them and then D&D
OneNote is great that I want to then compose into a sway presentation. the visual element is much better that just saving URLs. For me at present dragging pictures from one note does not upload the image to Sway. Saving the file in one note and then dragging onto Sway does ;(

Insertando imagen si tengo la posibilidad una imagen del portapapeles, aunque no de manera directa, pegando en el texto si. Qusiera lo mejor
Insertando IMAGEN si tengo la posibilidad de pegar imágenes del portapapeles aunque no de manera directa, hay que pegar en el texto para que se cargue. Estaría bien lo mejoraran para que se peguen en el área de imagen y se soporte el pegado en Pila, Presentación. etc.
Ya que trabajo con capturas de pantalla con indicadores insertados. Sería oneroso estar guardando en archivos y luego cargarlas.1 vote -

Make cursor insertion at the end of an existing text segment easier
Make inserting the cursor at the end of an existing text block easier. I have had loads of fun trying to trick Sway and win my attempt to insert the cursor at the end of a text segment. I do travel blogs on my iPhone a lot and often come back to edit. On an iPhone it is tricky to use your finger to insert the cursor because the ap thinks you want to insert a new Sway segment. It can get pretty annoying. The only way to trick Sway is to put your selection cursor up high on the…
