# Add Story Details

The Story Details section is where you write the detailed account of your program's impact. This is the core of the success story, describing what happened, why it matters, and the difference your work made.

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** The red asterisk **\*** next to the heading of a field indicates that the field is required.
{% endhint %}

## Navigate to Story Details

After completing the Collaborators step, PEARS directs you to the Story Details page. You can also access this section from the success story detail page by clicking **Story** in the progress panel.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Enter a Background (if applicable)

In the **Background** field, describe the program or project that this success story is about. Provide context such as the goals of the program, the community served, and the circumstances that led to the outcomes described in the story.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** The **Background** field is required if your organization uses SNAP-Ed custom data. Even when not required, providing background context strengthens the story.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Write the Story Narrative

In the **Body** field, write the narrative of your success story. This is a required field where you describe the impact of your program.

Consider addressing the following in your narrative:

* What impact did your program have?
* What changes occurred as a result of your programming?
* How did participants or the community benefit?

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** Use specific examples, data, and outcomes to illustrate the impact. A well-written narrative helps stakeholders understand the value of your work.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add a Favorite Quote (optional)

In the **Favorite Quote** field, enter a memorable quote from a participant, partner, or stakeholder that highlights the impact of the program.

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** The favorite quote field has a maximum length of 1,000 characters. Choose a quote that captures the essence of the story's impact.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save and Continue

Click the **Save and Continue** button to save the narrative and proceed to the next step in the workflow.

To save without continuing, click the **Save** button instead.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
