can you change out the image on the front page of your story map

[jeandavis1]

I want to change the picture I have on the front page of my story map and can't figure out how to do it.

[RupertEssinger]

Three questions for you

1) Which Story Map app template? (there are 8)?

2) Which picture? Some of the apps have a cover page, all of the apps have a logo in the header, etc.

3) Where and how are you trying to change the picture so far.?

I am using the journal template.

The picture is on the cover (home) page. I want to replace it with an updated picture. I can’t seem to figure out how to change or update any of the pictures on the main stage of the page.

Thank you!

In the Story Map Journal Builder, click the Edit button (pencil icon) next to the section you want to change the image for, and then in the dialog that appears, click the Back button at the bottom if it is showing you the Position options for your existing image:

This will take you back to the options for replacing the image:

Rupert, you’re awesome! Thank you so much. I didn’t think about hitting the back button.

[RupertEssinger]

No prob. It comes up quite often because that Back button is a bit far down in the UX. As soon as you said Map Journal, I was thinking that might be the issue.

Thanks again. I may keep you as my story book contact if that’s ok with you!

Hi, Rupert, and thanks for the help. Another issue: Several of my Story

Maps had links to images located in the "public" folder in Dropbox. Dropbox

no longer allows these links directly into the public folder, so several of

my stories are blank. I began correcting them by inserting the images from

my server. Below is an example of the first one I edited. Notice that the

image for section 2 is shown with inaccesible image. But I already

re-entered the new link as shown in the third line as a new page 2. I do

not know or can find out how to delete the first page 2 with the note of

the inaccesible link. Once I find out how to do this I can fix my other

stories that suffer the same problem generated by Dropbox. Please advise

how to delete this line in pink. Thanks

Hi Ferdinand, Could you start a new, separate question for this? It make it easier for us to manage and also makes sure that others can see your question.
