Create a Flickr Story

Inception enables you to create Flickr stories from the following panels:

Running Order — while working with a running order in the Running Order panel you can add a new Flickr story directly to the open running order.

Story Browser — when you do not want to immediately add a new Flickr story to a running order, you can create your new Flickr story from your Story Browser panel. You can add your Flickr story to a running order at any time.

Story Editor — while editing a story in the Story Editor panel, you can use the content of the current story to create a new Flickr story. When you create a Flickr story from an existing Inception story, Inception produces a story family that includes the original and new story. All new stories created in such a manner inherit the Slug and the content of the original

Assignment — while working on an assignment in the Assignment Editor panel, you can create new Flickr story for the assignment. When you create a story from an assignment, Inception automatically makes the Slug for new stories the same as the assignment Slug. Changing the Slug of a new story does not change the assignment Slug.
