StoryMap Navigation Tabs Going to Wrong Place

Question

Greetings,

I am helping someone with their StoryMap, which is presenting some navigation issues. Most of the links go to a point that is slightly above the section headings, if one clicks on the navigation tabs going from left to right (first section to last). Clicking on the tabs a second time will get one to the proper place, as will clicking the navigation tabs from right to left (last section to first). However, navigating to sections through one click going through the sections forward creates issues.

I saw this post from 2025 that seems to have a similar issue, though I cannot figure out if it is truly applicable or what the solution is and how to apply it if it is. As I said, I'm not the creator of this StoryMap and am just reaching out on behalf of the person who is, so please make sure to spell out in detail any guidance you have so we can both replicate it. Thanks.

Apologies again for the delay in my reply. I did want to check back in about this to see if anyone had any thoughts. Again, the navigation tabs on the StoryMap in question have been turned back on. I mentioned this to someone on the Expo floor at the UC, but I don't think I got his card, and obviously, it was a busy event. Thanks for looking into this.

Apologies for the delay in my reply. I was away for an extended period of time, including a visit to the Esri UC, where I spoke to someone at the Expo Hall about the issue. I cannot remember his name, but he took a picture of the URL.

The author of the StoryMap turned the navigation tabs back on (they had disabled them because of the issue), so the issue should now be visible when you visit the StoryMap in question. Thanks for looking into this.
