Storymap title and description won't update

Question

I published a storymap, and the interface will no longer let me edit the title and description in the storycard. When I go to the project in arcgisonline, I can change the title and description and save the changes, but when I view the storymap, it doesn't update.

Here you can see that I have successfully updated the title and description.

Here you can see how the previous version persists despite the changes I made and saved.

I tried contacting support and they refused to connect me with someone who can help and said my only option is to post online, so appreciate any assistance people can provide.

@SethLaxmanLush It appears you are using a free public account, which has some limitations, so the ability to customize the social metadata used when you share a story online is not available.

If you want to edit your story title/subtitle, you'll need to do it on the cover in the story builder. That information will overwrite what's in your item information in ArcGIS each time you publish.
