# Discover

> Read the stories your trackers produce, browse by topic, and explore the public story gallery.

Discover is your reading hub for **stories** — research articles that Merciv generates automatically from your [tracker](/trackers/overview) runs. You set up a tracker once, and finished stories land in Discover on its schedule.

Open **Discover** from the main navigation sidebar, directly below Home. It has two views, shown as tabs at the top of the page:

* **Feed** — your personal stream: stories from your own trackers, your organization's trackers, and stories shared with you.
* **Explore** — a public gallery of published stories organized by topic, browsable even without an account.

<Note>
  The Explore tab is available on select plans. Contact your Merciv representative if you don't see it.

## Stories

A story is an AI-generated research article produced by a tracker run. Each story includes a title, a short summary, a cover image, the full article body with inline citations, an activity panel showing the research steps behind it, and topic tags. Stories are read-only — you consume them, share them, and spin follow-up work off them in chat.

## The Feed

The Feed shows the stories you have access to in your active organization, newest first. The most recent story appears as a large banner at the top; the rest render as a grid of cards. The Feed loads 25 stories at a time and loads more automatically as you scroll.

Filter pills at the top narrow the stream:

* **All** (default) — every published story you can see.
* **My Stories** — only stories generated by your own personal trackers.
* **Organization Stories** — stories your whole organization can read, such as those from organization trackers.

Stories that were shared with you directly (rather than owned by you) show a small **Shared** badge on the cover image.

Switching organizations refreshes the Feed for the new organization. An empty Feed isn't an error — stories from your trackers appear here as they're generated, so if it's empty, check that you have active trackers and that their runs are completing on the [Trackers page](/trackers/managing-trackers).

## Explore and topics

Explore is a public gallery of published, public stories, sorted newest first with the same banner-and-grid layout as the Feed. It's the one Discover view that works without signing in, so Explore links are shareable with anyone.

**Topics** are the category pills across the top of Explore. They're a curated taxonomy managed by Merciv — you browse them rather than create them. Click a topic pill to filter the gallery to stories tagged with that topic or any of its sub-topics; click the active topic again, or **All**, to return to the unfiltered view. Topic pages are directly linkable and also work for signed-out visitors.

Tagging is automatic: when a new story is generated, a classifier reads it and assigns matching topics, so stories appear under topics without any manual step. Public stories with no topic don't appear in Explore — they remain available through the Feed and direct link-sharing.

Making one of your organization's stories public (so it can appear in Explore) is restricted to organization admins. See [Sharing and permissions](/getting-started/sharing-and-permissions).

## Reading a story

Click any story card to open the full article. From the story page you can:

* **Summarize** — opens the chat panel with a new chat scoped to the story, pre-loaded with "Summarize this story".
* **Track** — starts a chat that helps you build a new tracker based on the story, so one interesting article becomes an ongoing monitor.
* **More Stories** — a grid at the bottom of the page recommending up to four other recent stories.

<Note>
  The Track action is available on select plans and on desktop only. Contact your Merciv representative if you don't see it.

You can also share a story or manage who can see it from the story page — see [Sharing and permissions](/getting-started/sharing-and-permissions).
