Exploring linked signals

Signal charts added to a Story can be explored via an **Explore** button below such charts. Click on the **Explore** button to open the linked Signal. 

**Note:** Users must have Yellowfin Signals for this button to appear.

If a Signal is deleted after its chart is added to a story, the **Explore** button will no longer appear, even though the chart is still displayed in the story.

Interacting with reports

Readers can interact with live reports embedded within a published Story. Depending on the features of the report, readers are able to:

- Open the published report page.
- View applied [filters](https://yellowfin.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/yfcurrent/pages/2201535) within the Story or apply filters via the published report page.
- Click on one or many chart elements to view their values.
- Apply any [drill](https://yellowfin.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/yfcurrent/pages/2197401) options within the Story or via the published report page.

The following steps summarize an interaction with a report in a Story.

1. Open a published Story with an embedded report, and scroll down to that report   
The report menu toolbar is displayed in the top right-hand corner of the report visualization

Much like most Yellowfin content, a summary on information related to a Story is also provided. This includes story details, such as the folder it’s saved in, when it was last modified, its unique content ID in Yellowfin (UUID), and more. 

1. To view it, open a published story, click on the **More** button, and choose **Summary**
  A popup will appear displaying summarized details on the selected story
