# Stories

In Tableau, a **story** is a sequence of visualizations that work together to convey information. You can create stories to tell a data narrative, provide context, demonstrate how decisions relate to outcomes, or to simply make a compelling case.

A story is a sheet, so the methods you use to create, name, and manage worksheets and dashboards also apply to stories (for more details, see [Workbooks and Sheets](https://help.tableau.com/current/public/desktop/en-us/environ_workbooksandsheets.htm)). At the same time, a story is also a collection of sheets, arranged in a sequence. Each individual sheet in a story is called a **story point**.

When you share a story —for example, by publishing a workbook to Tableau Public, Tableau Server, or Tableau Cloud—users can interact with the story to reveal new findings or ask new questions of the data.

**Note:** Stories don't support dynamic features, such as zone visibility, axis titles, or axis ranges.
