Headers in Navigation bar inconsistent spacing

GOffenberg — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 14:52:50 GMT

Hi all,

The spacing between headers in the navigation bar is inconsistent. There are no spaces added to the text. The headers are in a sidecar. Is it possible to fix?

See https://storymaps.arcgis.com/collections/1fa52d8f6dce4d12a80ac55d5c3412d4?item=3

between "Sociale samenhang" and "Veiligheid" or

between all kinds of different segments.

Looking forward hearing from you!

Geert

@GOffenberg - I'm sorry you are seeing some unexpected extra spaces in your story's navigation bar.

Thanks for sharing links to your story and collection so we could investigate. It looks like there are a some empty headings in several of your sidecar slides that are being used as navigation links. In this slide, for example...

In the builder you can hover over that area, click into the empty heading, and convert it to a paragraph (pressing delete a few times should do it, depending on whether there are spaces present or not). Alternatively, you can go into the navigation bar options (hover over the navbar and click the gear button) and uncheck all the empty headings to hide them.

Hi Owen,

I was also thinking that this might have been the case, but I could not find where it was. After searching and a lot of clicking, I found the hidden headers. Thanks!

Kind regards,

Geert
