Sparqfire basics
Studios
Studios sit at the highest level of organization. It will be the first thing you create. Think of it as your company or organization. This serves as a folder for all of your collections and sparqfires. A studio is automatically created for you when you register and you have the option to create more under one account.
Collections
Collections are a way to organize your sparqfires. Think of a collection as an album or a series, depending on what you’re creating. Studios can have one or more collections.
Sparqfires
Sparqfires are your creations! Think of them as an issue of a comic, a book in a book series, or an individual one pager post of the landscape photo you took in Santorini. Sparqfires are made up of pages, elements and interplay. The pages contain your content and elements and interplay are features that help you create an interactive and personalized experience.

Media library
The media library is where you manage and upload images, audio files and videos. Any content that you put into the media library is stored to pull from when creating a sparqfire.
Interplay
Interplay is where interactive functionality is created. It’s made up of three components: Actions, Conditions and Results.
Actions are when something happens.
Conditions assign specific groups or viewer properties.
Results are what happens as an outcome of the set Actions and Conditions.
