What You'll See

Story Library (Main View)

When you first arrive, you see the Story Library:

• Page title — "My Stories" and a subtitle describing the screen
• Stats bar at the top — three numbers: "Total Stories," "Stories Used," and "Versions Created"
• Filter tabs — a row of buttons to filter stories by type
• Privacy filter — a dropdown to filter by privacy level
• Search bar — a text field to search your stories
• Story cards — cards for each story showing its title, type badge, privacy level, and usage count
• "New Story" button — to create a new story
• Empty state — if you have no stories yet, a friendly message inviting you to create your first one

Story Editor (When Creating or Editing)

When you click "New Story" or click on an existing story card, the editor opens:

• Editor toolbar — formatting buttons
• Story type selector — dropdown to pick the story type
• Privacy level selector — dropdown to set who can see the story

Text to Check

Page Title and Subtitle

• The heading "My Stories" and the description text below it

Stats Bar

• The three stat labels:

- "Total Stories"

- "Stories Used"

- "Versions Created"

• The numbers next to each label should display correctly

Story Type Filter Tabs

These are the filter buttons across the top. Each one should be in Spanish:

English	What It Means
All	Show all story types
Origin Story	How your business started
Transformation	A story about change or growth
Hard Lesson	A difficult experience you learned from
Inspiration	Something that motivates or inspires
Client Story	A story about a client or customer experience

These names are important — they should feel natural and meaningful in Mexican Spanish, not like a word-for-word translation.

Privacy Filter Options

The privacy dropdown should have these options in Spanish:

English	What It Means
All	Show all privacy levels
Private	Only you can see it
Community	Other Blossom users can see it
Public	Anyone can see it

Story Cards

Each story card shows:

• The story title (this is user-written and will be in whatever language the user chose)
• A type badge — the story type label (Origin, Transformation, etc.)
• A privacy level indicator
• A usage count label — for example, "Used in 3 campaigns" or "Not used yet"

Empty State

If there are no stories, a message appears inviting you to create your first story. This message should:

• Feel friendly and encouraging
• Be in natural Mexican Spanish
• Include a clear call to action

Story Editor

Inside the editor, check:

• Story type selector options (same types as the filter tabs)
• Privacy level selector options (Private, Community, Public)
• Title field placeholder text
• Content area placeholder text
• "Save" button label
• "Publish" button label
• Version history labels
• Google Docs sync button and description text
• Any toolbar tooltips (hover over the formatting buttons)

Interactive Elements

Filter Tabs

• Click each story type tab (All, Origin Story, Transformation, Hard Lesson, Inspiration, Client Story) — the labels on the tabs should all be in Spanish
• Watch the story list update — any "no results" message should also be in Spanish

• Click the privacy filter dropdown — all options (All, Private, Community, Public) should be in Spanish

Search Bar

• Click in the search bar — check the placeholder text (the gray text before you type)

New Story Button

• Click "New Story" to open the editor
• Check all labels inside the editor

Story Cards

• Click on a story card to open it for editing
• Check the editor labels as described above

Type Badges on Cards

• Look at the small badges on each story card that show the story type — they should be in Spanish

Usage Count Labels

• Look for text like "Used in 3 campaigns" or "Not used yet" on story cards — these should be in Spanish

Common Issues to Watch For

Story Type Names

The story type names are key to how users organize their stories. They should sound natural and inviting in Mexican Spanish. For example:

• "Origin Story" should feel like "the story of how it all began," not a literal translation
• "Hard Lesson" should feel empathetic, not harsh
• "Transformation" should feel positive and growth-oriented

Privacy Labels

"Private," "Community," and "Public" are common labels, but make sure they are translated consistently everywhere they appear — on the filter, on the cards, and in the editor dropdown.

"Not Used Yet" Label

This label appears on story cards that have not been added to any campaign. It should sound neutral or encouraging, not like a criticism. Something that invites the user to use the story, rather than making them feel they are behind.

Empty State Message

The message you see when you have no stories should feel warm and motivating. It is the first thing a new user sees in this section, so it sets the tone.

Editor Placeholder Text

The placeholder text in the title and content fields guides the user on what to write. It should feel helpful and natural in Mexican Spanish.
