I am experiencing the same issue and my client would like this white space removed, as it looks awkward and incomplete. Like others have said elsewhere on the Esri forum, having this much white space leads to confusion and reduces overall engagement.</P> Thu, 19 Feb 2026 13:31:34 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-storymaps-ideas/remove-spacing-or-more-dynamic-formatting-in-the/idc-p/1685148#M2270 sharman 2026-02-19T13:31:34Z
