Sway is a digital storytelling tool from Microsoft that lets you create and share interactive reports, presentations, newsletters, and learning resources. It’s ideal for showcasing parenting content, guides, and bitesize sessions in a visually engaging, mobile-friendly format.
In the context of the Torbay Digital Services platform, Sways are used to replace traditional leaflets and PDFs. They present information in a scrollable, accessible, and media-rich way—perfect for families accessing support on the go.
