UPDATE: On Feb 16, 2023, ArcGIS StoryMaps (and StoryMaps.com) were updated to include an auto-recovery mode. The instructions below should no longer be needed in most cases, but are being retained for archival purposes. ======================= If you've found yourself here, you've had the unfortunate experience of not being able to edit a StoryMap you've been working on. We apologize you're run into this issue, but you can follow the instructions below to recover your story, collection, or theme. This process requires the ability to run notebooks. If your account does not have this ability, please use the other set of instructions at the bottom of this post Click on “Download recovery file” link to download the JSON file for your story. Open the link for this python notebook. Log in to the ArcGIS Online account that owns the story that is not working. Click Open Notebook at the top right. Follow the instructions in the notebook to upload the recovery file back into your story. Please note our team is working to make this recovery process even easier. In an upcoming release you'll be able to automatically recover your story within the story builder, which will eliminate the need to upload a recovery file. We are also working to find and eliminate the root cause of the issue that is causing lost stories.
