Overview: Storytelling

Storytelling gives you a way to "tell the story" of your model's structure. Instead of presenting the entire map of your model to model users, leaving them to find their way on their own, you can use the storytelling feature to unfurl the model's structure one small chunk at a time.

With storytelling, you, as the model builder, decide which parts of the model to reveal, and in which order. To help tell your story, you can add text, graphics, sounds, or movies between each element that is being revealed. Finally, you can simulate the structure that is showing on the diagram, in mid story.

By revealing one part of the model at a time, and then demonstrating how that part functions by running just a piece of the simulation, your model's users can more easily associate the model's structure with its behavior.

Taken as a whole, storytelling allows you to breathe life into the communication of your model and its insights.
