The Ability to Drag and Drop Story Map components from one story map to another

NicoleErnst1

Often times, I create story maps that are similar to one another or I have small parts of one story map that I would like to use in other story maps. Now you either have to duplicate a story map which may be overkill or recreate content that you already created. It would be great to be able to drag content from one story map to another.

This is a great idea. I'd like to offer both an additional use case and a good workaround, from an educational institution perspective:

Use Case:

We use StoryMaps to teach workshops, and also have faculty using them to teach semester-long courses. We often reuse/duplicate sections of a StoryMap across different workshops (for example, an About Us / Workshop policies section, or important content information on say, Esri Demographics and the Living Atlas). Having the ability to copy over a block or widget, as opposed to duplicating a StoryMap, would be a useful feature when working on a new StoryMap. You can always duplicate an existing StoryMap that has the most content that overlaps with the new one, but may still need to go copy and paste in content or web maps and images from others. 

Workaround:

Our workaround right now is to utilize collections extensively. We try to break down StoryMaps into small modules. This means each StoryMap may be quite short, as a single storymap may just have info on say, workshop policies. While this works quite well, if you have too many items in the collection, it can get overwhleming from a user perspective.
