Bulk Copy Sways
I use Sway in a class room environment. Each semester my students individually create a Sway.
In order to lock down the current state of the submitted Sways, I make copies in my own account.
Bulk copying with a common prefix (e.g. Fall 2019) would be VERY helpful with this laborious process.
Bulk deleting of past semester Sways would also be very helpful.1 vote -

Allow sharing with Office 365 Groups
Although the sway connector is not available under teams, we could more easily use workarounds if the share option allowed sharing with team group (Office 365 group).
Please could you make this functionality available ?55 votes -
Share a template with students
Recently, Sway took out the ability to share a Sway template which in turn gave students the ability to duplicate it easily without having to navigate through the ellipses in order to duplicate. This can be difficult for kindergarten and first grade students. Please make it easier for a teacher to share a Sway Template so that each student can get their own editable copy.

Using Office 365 Distribution lists
Our tenancy uses a lot of automated distribution lists rather than o365 groups, we use these throughout the O365 toolkit but are unable to use these in sway for limiting the audience. Enabling Sway to talk to these groups will greatly increase the flexibility of the tool

Share to a List of Individual users
Share to a list of individuals without typing each one in individually, Users are not int he same Security or DL Groups
I currently have to add 27 Individuals manually, and only 12 are in a group that I can use so 16 individual entries.
It would be nice to add the list with the ; separator like when sending email.

signature
I would like to use sway to disseminate my company policies and procedures and I would like to include some way for the employee to acknowledge that they have read and understand. It would be nice if an email notification could be sent when a sway was acknowledge and if there was an audit trail that was kept to record each acknowledgement. I would really be cool if you could version the sway and it would automatically highlight the differences between the current and last version of the document for users that have read them both.

Visual Link in Texts
We would like the option to copy and paste a visual link through text as well as email. Currently, all that pastes is plain text and that is not ideal for sending a Sway to clients who prefer to communicate through text rather than email.

The ability for the reader of the SWAY to be able to highlight information
In my class I create SWAY's with articles and audio's I then embed a Form assessment into the SWAY. It would be awesome if my students could highlight information in the articles within the SWAY.
I know that they can do this in OneNote and I do that right now...but SWAY looks so much better and I love it's layouts, it really matches the SBAC format/look.4 votes -

The ability to have more than one owner.
Sway owners leave the firm and no-one owns the Sway and risks being deleted if ownership is not transferred by IT Dept before the 30 - 60 days it takes the owner to be deleted from Azure AD.

Live Captioning/Subtitling enabled for a Sway Presentation.
Like PowerPoint and Teams (Soon), Sway should be able to convert Voice to text during a presentation to help those who are audio impaired or viewing videos without sound on the receiving end.

analytics
Analytical data - It seems to currently only record one view if the same office365 account reviews it more than once. It would be great to see unique and previous views of the sway.
It could also do with a key to explain the results and categories of the data e.g what is defined as a quick glance mean?2 votes -
Have the table of contents as a "card" option as well which could be inserted at the top of a Sway newsletter.
Maybe just with the text/hyperlink for each header and without the photos to simplify it?
