Slides in navigation bar

AlenHadzovic — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 16:32:01 GMT

Hello!

Is it possible to have StoryMap slides in navigation bar? I find it a bit strange that the slide text cannot be marked as heading. It would be useful to have them in the navigation to allow jumping between the comments/material at the end and individual slides. Or have headings for slides that would allow link creation within a story.

Thank you,

Alen

@AlenHadzovic - Are you referring to headings in sidecar slides or map tour slides? You can already add headings to any sidecar slide and those headings can be added to the story navigation bar.

The ability to include map tour place titles/headings in the navbar, however, is not currently available. If you would like to see this, I would encourage you to vote for this idea and share any additional use cases you have for this feature so we can consider it for the future.

Hello and thanks for your reply. I am referring to map tour slides. It is kind of unfortunate that navigation and headings are not available for them at the moment. It would increase the accessibility of stories and be a more user friendly approach. Thanks for sharing the idea 0 I have voted for this.

If you want a better idea what I have in mind, you can have a quick look for example here . Almost all slides have notes with more technical information for those interested. And it is easy to jump from a slide to the corresponding note - but back from the note to slide and the story is not - or maybe I am not aware of some options....

Thanks again, Alen
