Currently when adding a new Image Gallery to a StoryMap, the only way to add an image to the gallery is to "Upload" one. However, after an Image Gallery is created in a StoryMap, then there are additional options for how to add photos, including "Link" and "This story". Please allow these additional options to be present initially when first adding a new Image Gallery to a StoryMap. (I often want the "This story" option when adding a new Image Gallery to a StoryMap, but all I can do is "Upload".)

We can try to take a look at adding some of these...

  • Adding the "This story" tab should be pretty straightforward.
  • It might be a bit more work to allow multiple linked images, but there are some ideas we have that could support this. Would it be ok to add these by inputting a comma-separated list of the different image links?
  • Creating a gallery by starting with some uploaded image files, some images linked from the web, and some from the current story at the same time isn't something we are planning to support. But you can already include images from different sources in the same gallery by adding them after the gallery is created.
