Changing the logo URL in a story header

NancyLRoss — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 18:24:21 GMT

The department wants to change the URL for the logo in the header of the Cascade Story Map I made them. I can't find how to get to it! I'm in edit mode and go to edit, but there's no option. I am using a custom theme. See the image:

Thank you!

Hi @NancyLRoss -- That's not a classic Cascade, that's a story created with the new ArcGIS StoryMaps. 🙂

The logo (and it's link and alt text) comes from the theme, so just open up your "GRADE" theme in theme builder and you can change it there.

How do I get to the theme builder? Either I'm blanking (a likely scenario!) or my button is missing. Thanks for responding!

Themes are here (see below), and clicking on one of the theme cards will open it in theme builder.

Thank you! I'm so used to working with my AGOL account I sometimes forget to go straight to the my Story Maps site. Bookmarked & lesson learned. By making 1 change all 14 interrelated sites are all fixed! Day made!!

Hi Owen! If I'm working on a story map and using an existing custom theme, but want to use a different logo just for this one story map, looks like I'll need to create copy of the existing theme and change the logo in that new copy of the theme - is that right? (I want the theme to stay the same otherwise - I just need to use a different logo)

@LindsayWithers1 - Yes, that's correct! You can easily duplicate a theme in theme builder from the ... menu in the header.

Okay will do. It would be nice to be able to override just the logo when using a theme, so we don't have a separate theme for just a logo change (our master theme just has our logo, but in some story maps we'll add partners' logos to ours, even though we're using our master theme). Is that on the roadmap for story maps or should add that as an "idea"?
