# Epics in Flowriter

An Epic in Agile documentation serves as a large container for related user stories, outlining a substantial piece of functionality or feature to be developed over multiple sprints.

It is like a big project goal (e.g., "Build a shopping cart"), and the User Stories inside it are the smaller tasks needed to achieve it (e.g., "Add items to cart," "Remove items from cart," "Calculate total").

Flowriter organizes User Stories by Epic — so you start by creating an Epic, and then add Stories to the Epic.

{% hint style="info" %}
To save time, Flowriter can automatically generate placeholder Stories inside a new Epic. See [Automatically suggest Stories](/flowriter/epics/automatically-suggest-stories.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
An Epic with example Stories and partially-generated content is automatically added to new accounts to help you explore Flowriter's features
