Exploring the Multi-Page Template in Project Story

The Multi-page template in Project Story provides a detailed and structured report of the project across multiple sections. This format is ideal for in-depth reporting, where each aspect of the project is broken down into its dedicated area. Unlike the Single-page template, which offers a summary on one page, the Multi-page template guides users through a scrollable report organized by content category.

By default, all sections available for the report are included in the built-in Multi-page template, but users can configure it as needed and select the sections for their Multi-page report templates. For more details, please refer to this article

Below is an overview of the key sections found in the Multi-page template:
