# Create a Word Cloud

Generate a word cloud visualization from success story keywords in PEARS.

The Word Cloud feature creates a visual keyword map from your success stories, showing which keywords appear most frequently.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** Success stories must include keywords to generate a Word Cloud. If no Word Cloud appears, keywords may not be tagged in the listed records. See [Create a Success Story](/reflect/success-stories/create-a-success-story.md) for guidance on adding keywords.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** Success stories do not follow typical viewable permissions — all organizational users can see all records. By default, the list is filtered to your own records in the current reporting year; adjust or clear the filters to include other records in the Word Cloud.
