I want to duplicate one of my existing Map Journal to try out different things with it. How do I save a copy of it?
Thanks!
Hi,
There is no way to copy a Map Journal from Map Journal builder or ArcGIS Online yet.
We are working on adding that feature, it's high priority for our next release. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, here is the easiest way I know:
Your new Map Journal reference the same maps and medias.
Besides that everything is duplicated (narrative content, global settings, section configuration) so you can truly experiment.
Enjoy
When you save your original map, a dialog box will appear that says "Application Successfully Saved."
Copy the http link under "How do I get back to the builder interface?"
Then navigate to your My Content list of folders etc. (http://egeo.maps.arcgis.com/home/content.html)
Click Add Item > An Application
Then paste your URL (the http link - it should like something like: http://bit.ly/8k2b4AsP ).
You will also have to fill in a title (this should be a different name to your original map e.g. Map2) and at least one tag.
Click My Content again (in the top title bar).
Voila!
Ok, it seems that my idea above works, but only on the surface. The new "copies" are more like shortcuts to the original, so you would have to change the bitly to truly create a new application.
Thanks, Gregory! That worked.
Is there a way to use the ArcGIS Online Assistant with enterprise logins? I seem to only be able to login to Assistant using an ArcGIS Online account, which I've added to our organization.
I am writing a blog post about this for the education community about this important topic - it will appear on http://edcommunity.esri.com/blog on Fri 22 Jan 2016.

This seems to work on the surface, but afterwards all layers that have been shared from outside arcgis online become inaccessible when I do it. Even trying to add new stories to the map doesn't work, all the content from outside arcgis online is inaccessible. I am getting the following error message:
Unable to establish a secure connection to the layer. The layer, DOF_LI_ONE, cannot be added to the map.
What could be the underlying cause? Everything works fine in the original story.
Using this method works...the first time. I made a copy of a Story Map Journal. Edited it and renamed it. So using my original as a "template" worked well.
However when i went in again to make another copy I got the following error message in a pink box popup:
Copy failed! item xxxname of filexxxx already exists.
It creates a new file in the right hand box but it is white text in a red box and doesn't become available in My Contents.
Any ideas on how to make multiple copies?
Reason is I've got a long Story Map Journal and want to break it up into several Story Map Journals that I can now put in individual tabs of the new Story Map Series format. I don't want to have to re-embed all the text, photos, captions, etc.
Thanks for any assistance,
Mike
Hi Mike,
That's just a limitation of how the copy works in the AGO Assistant right now. You might have to reload the AGO Assistant for it to pick up the name change on the item. You can also try the Admin Tools for ArcGIS from GeoJobe (in the ArcGIS Marketplace -- there's a free and paid version), which may handle this workflow better.

Has an easier way to copy a story map been created or is ArcGIS Online Assistant still the only way.
Hi David. We still point people at ArcGIS Online Assistant. You can also try the GeoJobe Admin tools:https://marketplace.arcgis.com/search.html#q=geojobe

I use the AGO Assistant quite a bit and have never had any problems... though the first few times, it took some careful thinking on my part to make sure I did it properly.
