Sway (Office app) → Microsoft Sway – This product will have Windows and mobile version, I believe this is part of the Microsoft Office product line. Therefore, the naming should follow the general naming rules of Microsoft Office.

The first paragraph calls it a presentation web app, which seems pretty inacurate to me. it is not a presentation app as described by the linked article (an application for creating slides), it doesn't even appear to be targetet at speaker presentations at all. also, while it's currently a web application only, and this should be noted in the article, it's not meant to be a web-only application, so characterizing it as a web app in the first paragraph seems a bad choice to me. I'd suggest 'an application for easily creating content using predefined templates'. Some media present it as a successor to powerpoint, but MS does not claim it to be, and it doesn't seem to be substantiated anywhere. Also, it's obvious that it is not.

All the information in the infobox code is not appearing on the page. I would love if someone could fix it (or tell me how to fix it).
Thanks! Daylen (talk) 02:55, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
According to the official blog, Twitter, the Facebook, and the official iPhone app it's called Office Sway, not regular sway. I suggest an immediate move. --42.113.73.178 (talk) 07:30, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
The article should make clear that the "App"/program is only available to those who have a Microsoft Account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GaryGMason (talk • contribs) 17:23, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Move. No objections after over a week. Cúchullain t/c 14:47, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
Sway (Office app) → Office Sway – According to the software's official website, the official blog, Twitter, official Facebook page, and the official iPhone app it's proper name is Office Sway. The new title also fulfils WP:NATURALDIS and removes the need for parenthesised disambiguation in the article title. The name as just "Sway" is used as a shortened form of its name, similar to how Microsoft Word becomes just "Word", or Microsoft Excel becomes just "Excel", etc. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 03:52, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
This needs clarification. The ordinary meaning of the adjective is something like "of moderate quality" but it may here be being used in an irregular way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:597B:7400:2504:9F15:EBFD:FD6B (talk) 13:15, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
