Stories

A story is created the moment a pitch is approved or, with a Saga newsroom system connected, from a story there, then enriched: Nuvelics researches it beyond the articles in the pitch and checks its key claims. Stories lists your stories, shows what enrichment found, and is where you create and review outputs, the finished pieces written from a story: web articles, social posts and short-form video storyboards.

Every member can read stories and outputs, Viewers included. Changing things takes the Member role or above: story:write to re-enrich, add media and create or edit outputs, and story:push_nrcs, story:push_cms and story:push_social to push out. Controls you may not use are missing. The page sits under Content in the sidebar. For a first walk-through, see Read your first story and Create your first output.

Find a storyCopy Anchor Link

1. Open Stories. Each row shows the Title, its Sources, its Origin (Engine, Manual or Saga), its Key claims, its Outputs and its Activity. An organization with a newsroom system connected also sees an NRCS state column.
2. Use View as to switch between Table, Cards and Desk columns. Nuvelics remembers your choice. Desk columns needs more than one newsdesk and is unavailable while you filter to a single desk.
3. Type in Search by title… and choose an origin from All origins. Choose + Add filter for Enrichment status, Newsdesk, Key claims (for example Confirmed or Contested) or Updated. An organization with a newsroom system connected also gets an In NRCS filter and a filter for stories dropped in the NRCS.

An empty page says Nothing here yet: a story appears when a pitch is approved or, with a Saga newsroom system connected, when a story arrives from it. Choose a story to open it in a side panel over the list; Open story page opens it as a full page.

Read a storyCopy Anchor Link

A story's enrichment status is Pending, Running, Enriched or Failed. While it runs, an Enriching banner says so and the page fills in by itself. The page is divided into sections you can jump between: Content, Sources, Key claims, Quotes, Timeline, Entities, Assets and UGC.

• Summary, Why it matters and Story meaning (who, what, when, where, why, how).
• Original sources and Additional sources. Choose a source to read the article; where a key claim or quote cites it, the article opens with the passage highlighted.
• Key claims, each Confirmed, Unverified or Contested; the story's overall assessment can also be Partially confirmed. Enrichment and fact-checking explains what these mean.
• Key quotes, Story timeline and Key entities.
• UGC posts, Related media and photos or videos from your archive, where they were found.

If a source was recalled by its vendor, a warning says so at the top. On an Enriched or Failed story, Re-enrich is available (not while spending is paused). Confirm with Yes, re-enrich: this replaces the additional sources, claims, entities and media with a fresh run, spends real inference and cannot be undone. You need story:write.

To put your own pictures on a story, choose Add media and pick JPEG, PNG or WebP photos. Each can carry a Caption and a Credit, and Nuvelics suggests a caption for you to Accept or Clear. You need story:write.

Create and review outputsCopy Anchor Link

1. On an Enriched story, in Outputs, choose New output.
2. Pick one template or several. Each becomes its own output. A type marked No template yet has no active template for this story's desk; an administrator creates one under Settings, in Output templates.
3. Choose Generate (for example Generate 2 outputs).

An output is Queued, Generating, then Ready, or Failed. The types are Web Article, X Post, Instagram Post, TikTok Post, Facebook Post, LinkedIn Post and Short-Form Video. Choose an output to open it:

• Ready: Edit (then Save), Regenerate and Delete. Regenerating writes a new draft from the story as it now stands, with optional instructions, and your current text stays until you choose Keep current or Replace with new draft. Compare with previous shows the draft before the last replacement.
• Failed: Retry or Delete.
• An output marked "Generated from an earlier version of this story" is out of date: regenerate it.
• Claim checks compares the output with the story's research. Use Check or Check again, and fix or Accept each open finding with a note. See Templates, brand kits and checks.
• A social post with cards offers Render images and Download for each card, kept for seven days.

Push a story or output outCopy Anchor Link

• Push to NRCS on an enriched story sends it to a connected newsroom system, once per connection. You need story:push_nrcs and at least one NRCS connection.
• Push to CMS on a web article files it as a draft, once per connection and version. You need story:push_cms.
• Publish to X on an X post publishes it on a connected account at once, and it stays public until someone deletes it on X. You need story:push_social.

Each output's Publish Status lists what was sent where. The steps are in Push it to your newsroom.
