Customizable zoom for each point of a "Map Tour" story map

It should be nice to be able to set a customizable zoom for each point in a Map Tour.
In the same story map, it is relevant to see some sites at a 1:2k scale and others at 1:5k or 1:10k according to the extent of the site wich is described

Given the date this idea was created, I'm guessing that this was requested for the classic Story Map Tour template. However, this capability was one of the first things we added to the new map tour block in ArcGIS StoryMaps.

This collection has a tutorial that describes how to set the scale/zoom for each point and also contains lots of great examples of map tours created using ArcGIS StoryMaps: https://arcg.is/08vGPP0

Marking this as implemented...

Is it possible to set a custom zoom for each point of a data driven map explorer tour? According to the documentation (https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-storymaps/author-and-share/add-guided-tours.htm) "Set an initial zoom level that will be used for all the tour places, or set a custom zoom level for an individual stop using the scale drop-down menu in the map tourOptions pane." However, in the options menu, the help hint says that the zoom level is for all the points of the tour.

@MarioReyes3 - This capability is not currently available for data driven tours. It is something we have considered, but it is not on our roadmap. If you are interested in seeing this in a future update, I would recommend that you create a new idea for this so others can vote for it and add their support.
