Hello Team,

I am working on a Map tour and I was hoping to be able to change the points so that they reflect my teams different project sites is that possible? or do I only have one color choice 😞

Thank you for your time and help.

Try choosing the Layer, go "Feature Layer" in the riboon, and there choose "Simbology", you can use "syngle symbol" and there change the color, though, you have more options of simbology "Unique Values" "Graduated colors", etc, but I understand you just want to change the color, so do it in syngle symbol, there you will see a color, you click on it and the gallery panel is opened and you choose the color you prefer

Agree with the above. You can use unique colors of the projects names are within their own field.

I believe the suggestion above is not specific to a map tour in a StoryMap; rather it applies to styling layers in the map viewer.

@BrigidaSanchez - If you store your information in a feature layer, you can create a categorized map tour that will let you style each group or category of points with it's own symbol. You can read more about how to do this in Use — or create — a feature service to build a map tour in ArcGIS StoryMaps, and here is an example of a categorized tour: A world of wonders.
