Story Editor Panel

While editing a story in the Story Editor panel, you can use the content already in the panel to create a new story in a different format. When you create multiple stories from a single story, Inception creates what is known as a 'story family'. The following story attributes are inherited:

Slug — Inception automatically makes the Slug for new stories the same as that of the original story. When you change the Slug of a story in a story family, it is also changed in other stories within the family to match.

Content — Inception automatically copies story content from the original story to all additional ones which are created from it.

For example, after you complete a Broadcast story, you can create a new Facebook or Twitter story using the same text that was used in the original. Inception also uses the Broadcast story Slug to set the name of the new Facebook and Twitter stories.

Depending on the match between the format of the original story and the format of the new story, images and videos contained in the original story may not copy into the new story. For example, the feature image in a Drupal or WordPress story does not copy into a Twitter or Facebook story as media.
