Convert a Story to Moments in CMS.

Convert vertical 9:16 Stories to Moments directly in the CMS. You can select to convert all or some of the content.

The convert Story option is available on request from your WSC Sports account team.

• Only 9:16 Stories are eligible. For mixed aspect Stories (16:9 and 9:16), only 9:16 pages are copied. For 16:9-only Stories, the Add as Moments action isn't available.
• Graphics slides and pages with interactions (polls/quizzes) are shown as non-selectable and are excluded from conversion.
