Cover Image

Add attachments to support your story. You can add most types of files here, but if you add image or multi-page PDF files, the recipients will be able to view these files within the Story without needing to download them.

Pin this Story

Content can be pinned for a particular time period to the top of the user’s Launchpad (homepage). Pinned content will remain on a store/user's homepage even when it has been read by that store/user.
