Sway Suggestion Box
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.
Need technical support? Please visit the Microsoft Community or the Office Support site.
Thanks for joining our community and helping improve Sway!

Immersive Reader for Sway
The Immersive Reader found in Word and OneNote and other places is amazing. Please bring the immersive reader to Sway. As a presentation and teaching tool, this would substantially improve the accessibility of Sway content. The translation and dynamic visual formatting features would be most valuable.

embed a sway in Teams channels
I'd love to be able to embed a sway in a teams channel. So that it functions - not as a link.

Image links to work in mobile view
We have a grid view with some images with links. This works well on a desktop view, but in the mobile view the images shrink and the links disappear and no longer work. It would be great to still be able to have that functionality in the mobile view. Perhaps the way to do that would be to add an extra type of card that does not expand the images when users click on them, but instead takes you to the image link. Thank you.

Organising multiple Sways
Sways are really useful for sharing info and video clips with parents and children during lockdown. We are building up a collection of them, and sometimes want to share them with other practitioners who work with families elsewhere. It's hard to organise them though, with no folders or organising system - what's the solution?
thanks, Charlotte2 votes -
Enable external sharing permission to some users in my organisation
Instead of disabling external sharing to everyone, it would be nice to be able to create a policy that we can enforce for some users being able to share externally.
Thanks.

make accessible without a link
We recently used Sway to create an educational module for a doctoral project--it looks amazing. However, the hospital where we launched the project was unable to open the link to the sway due to strict security restrictions on hospital computers. A way to convert the Sway to PP in these situations might be helpful. Or just a way to make the Sway accessible without a live link.

ability to 'like' someone's sway to give them feedback
I'm using Sway to share top tips, guidance, info snippets etc by sharing the links in newsletters and teams channels.
It would be great if there was the option for the reader to 'like' the Sway at the end, then this data could show in the analytics section as an indicator of how useful the content is.
100 views but 0 likes, or 100 views and 80 likes gives a helpful picture for the creator.
I like 'likes' :)4 votes -
Global Administrator Moderation and Control over Sways
We really need this functionality. A member of staff sent out a Sway to all of our customers with the wrong kind of link so no one can access the Sway. She then went off on holiday and we cannot contact her. We now cannot simply access her Sway to get the right link and fix the issue. This is a real hassle and embarrassment for a simple problem that should be easy to fix. It would be really helpful to have a Global Admin overview (like in Microsoft Stream) to be able to disable, delete or moderate Sways that…

Dynamically update images
We update and present a report weekly, which also has several images as part of the presentation.
These images also change on the server (are over-written) but if we do this, the linked images do not update. Is there a way to dynamically/automatically update this content, the same way an embedded spreadsheet or word doc would update?

*.Padlet.ORG whitelist request for University
Here at the Queensland University of Technology in Australia, we use the Padlet tool in our Learning and Teaching tool mix.
In the last year, Padlet.com changed their business model from allowing multiple free 'Padlets' to only 3, resulting in schools and universities such as ourselves needing to procure "Institutional" licenses for Padlet - this was no problem, and also allowed us to have a custom subdomain in the *.padlet.ORG space.
Free-account Padlets (Padlet.COM) embed with no issues in Microsoft Sway. *.Padlet.ORG, however, DO NOT EMBED.
error:
"Sorry, we do not currently support this site. Please look at the more…

Enable Export Sway to Microsoft Stream
Give me a reason to not export the PPT to Stream. Stream channels are used at my organization to centralize content. I have to record my screen pressing "play" to get what you offer with PPT export to Stream. Enable me instead to directly export my Sway to Stream, with or without 1. animations and 2. choosing the display speed (ie more time for slides w/more content). Ensure display of 3 options in Sway (horizontal, vertical etc) is optimized for non-theater mode of Stream.
Thanks! Please vote for this!1 vote -
Share Sway with an Outlook Contact List
Within my organization (a university) I have created personal contact lists. I want to share a Sway newsletter with that personal contact list. It seems, however, that I can only share the Sway with university-wide lists and not my own personal one. How can I make this work?
