Creating story assets for the 2.1 Editor
Your Story Listing
The story listing is the preview that users see in the Discover section of the app.
Since the release of the Editor version 2.2, only the Story Icon is required for the story listing.
Story Icon
Your story icon will be shown in the story listing. It's the first visual hint of what your story is about. When deciding on a story icon embrace simplicity and use elements that contextualise what your story contains.
​
Landscape Feature
This image is used on mobile devices and can be a photograph or a designed image. This asset can be a little more detailed than the story icon. Your story title, description and category will always be displayed to the user, so your landscape feature can be something abstract, attractive and visually interesting.
Portrait Feature
This image is used on tablet and desktop devices and should be similar to - or the same as - the landscape feature.
Adding Your Story Assets
To access your story listing, open a story in Authoring, and select Story from the menu. Select Story Listing & Assets.
