Completing your story
After you select an activity for your story, Photo Story displays the Completing Photo Story 3 for Windows page, which specifies the file name, the location of the story you created, and its file size. If you want, you can immediately view your story, or create a new one.
After you view your story, you may want to go back and change it. For example, you may want to add or delete some pictures, record different narration, change a title or background music, or change the profile. You can return to any Photo Story page by clicking Back.
Important
- It is important to view your final story on the Completing Photo Story 3 for Windows page to ensure that you are satisfied with the results. After you quit Photo Story or begin creating a new story, you will not be able to change this story unless you also save the project file of your story.
- To save the project file and be able to edit your story later, you must click the Save Project button.
