Create Broadcast Stories

•Running Order — While in the running order panel you can add a new Broadcast story to the open order.

•Story Browser — when you do not want to immediately add a new Broadcast story to a running order, you can create your new Broadcast story from your Story Browser panel. You can add your Broadcast 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 Broadcast story. When you create a Broadcast 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 Broadcast 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.
