Enhancement: provide a way to see full title when selecting a web map (Map Journal)

Question

When creating a Map Journal, the 'Select a map' dialog doesn't allow a way to view the full title of the web map. This makes it confusing when you have more than one web map with similar titles and need to make sure you select the right one:

Other ArcGIS apps with a similar web map browser show a larger thumbnail for the item so the full title is displayed, or include a link to go to the item details page:

Thanks for considering this!

Hi Rachel,

The current behavior is that the full title is shown as you hover over the thumbnail unless there is a summary defined, and in that case the summary is shown. We agree with you that the title is the most helpful piece of information when picking a map when building a story, so we'll update this at the next release (March 1) to always show the full title on hover.

We are also making a change at the next release to sort your maps by date so your newest/most recently updated maps are always shown when the picker first opens.

We want to make more significant changes to the web map picker, but we are working to make some small improvements for March that will improve the experience until we make more significant changes in the future.

Thanks for the feedback!
