Sway is Microsoft 365's online app for creating and sharing interactive presentations, reports, newsletters, and more. It offers a built-in design engine that easily incorporates everything from basic text to rich media.

Allowing others to view your "Sways" is as easy as sending a link. Regardless of the screen size or type of device your audience uses, Sway automatically adapts for optimal viewing.
