# Story modules

## Editorial purpose

Use story modules to communicate stories, news, or analysis through a structured narrative, providing context, authorship, and supporting metadata.

## Module variants

- **Story**: The Story module renders the full editorial narrative with complete metadata controls. See an example of this module in action here: [Story](https://en-product.deltatre.com/demo/modules/story).
- **Story Hero Thumb**: The Story Hero Thumb module emphasizes the story header and hero area, with a more compact metadata set. See an example of this module in action here: [Story Hero Thumb](https://en-product.deltatre.com/demo/modules/story-hero-thumb).
