# Stories

The Stories format displays one Tile at a time in a full-screen, tap-through layout. It’s designed for immersive, mobile-friendly content experiences where users move through a sequence of content in a focused, linear flow.

Stories are well-suited for campaigns that require narrative progression or high engagement across multiple frames.

### **Behaviour**

* Tiles are shown one at a time, full-screen
* Users tap or swipe to move forward/back
* Each [Tile](/getting-started/core-platform-concepts/tiles.md) is rendered as a [Frame](/getting-started/core-platform-concepts/tiles.md#frames)
* Navigation can be tap-based, swipe-based, or timed (auto-advance)

### **Supported Tile Types**

Stories support all standard Tile types, including:

* Media Tiles – Full-screen image or video content
* [Clickthrough Tiles](/platform-guides/build/activation-tiles/clickthrough.md) – Direct users to external links
* Brand Tiles – Include sponsor messaging or partner creative
* [Poll Tiles](/platform-guides/build/activation-tiles/polls.md) – Let users vote directly within a frame
* [Quiz Tiles](/platform-guides/build/activation-tiles/quizzes.md) – Step-by-step interactions across multiple questions
* [Submission Tiles](/platform-guides/build/activation-tiles/submissions.md) – Collect UGC within the story flow

### Display Options: Circles vs Cards

* **Circles (default):** Story icons are rendered as small circles containing the Story thumbnail. A ring surrounds each circle; its colour can be customised and changes when there is new or unseen content. Circles feel familiar to users of social‑media stories and take up minimal space in the rail.
* **Cards:** As an alternative, Stories can be presented as larger rectangles (cards). Cards provide more space for titles and preview imagery. They are useful when you want to highlight a particular Story or when you have fewer Stories and wish to maximise their visual impact.

Both formats support the same content and behaviour; choose the one that best suits your layout and design aesthetic.
