Sharing completed Story Map

AnnamarieSchaecher — Wed, 27 Aug 2014 19:36:35 GMT

I shared my completed Story Map publicly. When others go to view it, they are directed to the ESRI site and asked to enter a password. How do I share the Story Map so that my audience doesn't need a password?

Can you share the link with us?

Also make sure that all layers and the map the layers are in is shared with the public.

Seems like 2/3 of the bullets work , but then if you click the next one it'll boot you to ESRI online log-in...are there layers on those specific bullets/pages that are not shared publicly?

Make sure to share everything in your map with the public.

Ok - I checked the permissions and several were indeed marked private.

I'm confident this will fix the issue.

Thanks very much,

Annamarie

A testing tip. Have a browser other than the one you normally use installed on your machine. Open that 2nd browser and then open a private browsing/incognito window (ensures it won't use any pre-existing setting or cache) and you should be able to simulate exactly what 'outside' users will see.

Very nice work! It is great how you integrated the historic photos and I like how you also include static maps as images. It's a nice feature of the Story Map Journal that you can include maps simply as images if you don't want to provide an interactive web map.

One tip: In the 'Walter Vail and the Railroad' section, where you display the web site of the Southern Pacific #1673 locomotive via the main stage action: you could use the 'stretch' option for the web page so that it fills the main stage.

Thank you very much!

I used the static Google Earth map because I like the way it angles the view of the buildings, which I don't think the Esri maps can do (but maybe I'm wrong?).

I'll take your advice about stretching the web page.

Best,

Annamarie
