You have the ability to customize some story design options in your stories. Customizing story design options in the individual story will override the default story template settings that you've set in the Story Template Editor.
To activate the Custom Story Design options, check the box for Customize Story Design on the right side of the story in edit mode. Once you have adjusted the custom settings you desire, click the Update or Save Draft button to see those changes reflected on your story page.
