Hello, Will text alignment options be added to StoryMaps? e.g., right align, center text, justify, etc. I am working on a StoryMap in Arabic and the lack of text alignment options causes the text to look a bit unnatural. Thank You, Matt Howland

Hi Owen, The story should be shared now. In general I have been having problems with maps inconsistently loading and showing the gray screen I mentioned in my earlier question. Perhaps relatedly, when I try to edit the layers that appear within these maps, my map layers will load and then revert back to the following screen indefinitely, with the Map Layers loading. I'm not quite sure if that describes the issue clearly but I'm happy to provide more detail as needed. Thank You, Matt Howland

Hello, I'm developing a StoryMap in the new StoryMaps app that imitates an older Cascade Story Map that I created. In one sequence, I aim to display a high resolution orthophoto over a satellite image basemap. As I have added the map in the sidecar, the map seems not to load and will display only a gray screen. At times I have had success reloading the page and then trying to add the map, but the map will only display as a gray screen on subsequent views. For what it's worth, I haven't I suspected that the high resolution of the orthophoto may have caused issues with causing the map to load. Please let me know if you can help with this issue. FYI, the StoryMap is saved under my other account, mdhowlan_UCSDonline and the maps in question are in the "3D to Mapping" section. Thank You, Matt Howland

Hello, In the classic StoryMap cascade, one could add a map into an immersive section, then Duplicate that map to create another identical slide, but by adjusting the scale/zoom of the second map, the transition between the two would appear as a zoom in or out to the new map extent. The new StoryMaps app seems to lack functionality to duplicate a map within the Sidecar (which is fine since one can just add the same map again) but the possibility of a zoom transition, which is more aesthetically-pleasing than a simple fade transition, seems to be lost. Please let me know if I am overlooking something or if you have any advice. Thank You, Matt Howland PS: in case it isn't clear what I'm referring to, the zoom effect I'm talking about is shown in this StoryMap, with the text beginning with "Web maps that occupy every last pixel because you don't want to waste pixels on not maps? Immersive!" https://nation.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Cascade/index.html?appid=5cd671a4cf1844b7854220979574b927
