I am new here and I would like to try to write a story. I have some questions before I start out,

Once you have completed the end of a story, can you edit your story with additional photos and edit the story at a later time?

If you use an album as the source of your photos for the story, is there a way to easily import your original comments that were with the photos in the album. At the moment If I hover over the photo in the story ,it shows the original album photo comment/description but I cannot see a way to attach it to the photo (now in the story)

You can always re-edit, change and revise stories.

Using comments in the photo albums is a nice feature request, I guess. I'm guessing 23 is using their own API to access the photos, which is why they are in the tooltip.

@clvrmnky: Thanks for the quick answer.
@JVAN: You're basically suggesting a one-click way to turn an album (with the text coupled to each photo) into a story? Sounds like a great idea.

@clvrmnky thank you for your reply, I thought that would be the case , but it is not spelled out.

@Steffen, Just to clear up what I want is , write the story part and then import the album (with the descriptions/ comments of the photos attached)

I should now have a story with photos with the original comments as per the comments in the album.

I can now discard/re-arrange individual photos and alter/edit the comments to suit the story. This is so much easier than inserting the album and having to rewrite every comment as in most cases the comments will be the same.

So yes, it becomes almost a one click op after you write the story part.

Thanks JVAN

Hey JVAN,

We've added a link to the album page called "Make in to a story" -- which does exactly that: It takes the album and turns it into a story using the album's title and description along with the words coupled to the photos. For example this album turns into this story.
