This page describes how to use the Stories app, an example of a custom content editor that authors can use to quickly create and publish flexible content in Magnolia.
...
Use the Stories app to create and edit stories on a Magnolia author instance. Complete the structured outline to give the story a set of key, static properties. Then build up the unstructured body of your story using content blocks you want: images, texts, videos and links. You can save and publish in one click to get your content on your website fast.
Compared to pages, stories are ideal for quickly producing free-form content without any page-hierarchy constraints. Stories, with a clear distinction between formatting and content, can then be published to different destinations: from a web page to a mobile app or as an article for an online newspaper.

The Stories app does not provide any default page or component templates to render the stories. The templates to render the stories must be configured by your development team. The templates provided by the article-editor module may be used and adapted for this purpose. You can see an example of published stories in the Magnolia demo.
