A recent update to ArcGIS StoryMaps added the ability to copy a link that points to a story heading.
These links can easily be shared so you can direct a colleague or friend right to a specific section of a story, but you can also use these links to create internal story links.
In a future release, we plan to make it easier to create internal story links. For now, you can use this manual, but simple, process to create your own internal story links.
- Create and publish a story that uses headings to denote different story sections
- While viewing the story, hover over a heading and copy the heading link using the icon that appears to the left of the heading text
- Back in the story builder create a hyperlink or a button
- Paste the link copied from the viewer into the link field
Note that internal links will open in a new tab while you are using the builder, but they will simply jump/scroll the story to the correct location when viewing (or previewing) the story.
