In Sway, you can easily reuse content from any of your existing documents and files. By importing such content, you can add text, images, tables, and graphs from your documents and combine it with additional content or media. Sway can import content from Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) files.
You can create a new Sway from an imported document or file, or you can add the contents of a document or file to an existing Sway.
