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.
