Showing a Print article as a story in Studio

An article is typically part of a story, which consists of:

• The article holding the text of the story
• The layout(s) on which the article is placed (for articles that are used in print)
• Related images and/or spreadsheets

These files are typically kept together in a Dossier and a Dossier itself can hold multiple articles.

When working on a story or working with a Dossier, it can be beneficial to see how each article is used as a story and which files are related to the story. For this, the Story View mode in a Dossier can be used.

Figure: Viewing an article in Story View mode in a Dossier to quickly see how it is placed on a layout.

Using this view makes it possible to quickly see:

• The article as it is placed on the layout(s), including any Editions it may be part of (for articles that are used for print)
• All files related to the article (only for articles placed on a layout and only as long as these files are in the same Dossier as the article)

From this view, you can then:

• Easily open the article for editing
• Work on any of the files, for example by right-clicking them and accessing the context menu

Enabling Story View mode

Story View mode is one of the various modes that a Dossier can be viewed in:

• List view
• Thumbnail view
• Story view

How stories are displayed

When Story View mode is enabled in a Dossier, a story is displayed for each article in that Dossier. When multiple articles exist, the newest is displayed first.

For each story, the following is shown:

• The name of the article and its Workflow Status (hover the mouse pointer over the status to see the name).

• All files that are related to the story (only for articles that are placed on a layout).

• The article in one of the following ways:

• When placed on a layout: a preview of the first page on which the article is placed.

• When not placed on a layout: the content of the article.

Note: The context menu for the article can be accessed by clicking the 3 dots next to the 'Edit article' button.
