Story editor updates

Cleaned up layout, new header image component, improved sharing story sharing options, and more...

October 24, 2025

Hey there—Hugo here with another Prezly product update.

This time, we’ve made a few changes to the story editor to make it simpler and more straightforward. Here's what's new:

Overall layout cleanup

  • Removed the box around the content
  • Simplified the tips section at the top
  • Settings panel is closed by default
  • Removed unnecessary buttons
  • Bugs fixed:
    • No longer possible to favorite an empty story
    • No preview link when there’s no content to preview

 

Better "Preview" vs "Go to Story" link behaviour

  • “Preview” shows on all drafts and scheduled stories
  • “Go to Story” shows on all published stories
    • "Preview" was moved to the story information bar (near the saved/auto-saved information)

New header image section

  • The large header image placeholder is now a button
  • You can add header images by clicking the button, or
  • Drag and drop still works—drop an image to add it

New publishing success modal (share modal)

  • Cleaner layout focused on sharing
  • Better preview card
  • More social media sharing options
  • New “Share with Prezly” section to add the story to a campaign or a pitch
  • More about story sharing updates here

Better copy-past from Word, Google Docs, and online posts/articles

  • This is a beta feature
  • This is enabled by default for new users; older accounts can request access via support

We’re always keen to hear what you think. If you have feedback or ideas, send them our way—your input helps us make Prezly better.

See you around! 👋
