Optimized Story Experience

The optimized story experience improves performance within SAP Analytics Cloud stories.

The optimized story experience enables content within an SAP Analytics Cloud story to load faster, but not all features and story options will be available when you enable the Optimized Design Experience or Optimized View Mode features.

These usage restrictions will be removed over time or changed into improvements.
