Hi, 

Include subcategories in the navigation bar based on subheadings.

@lmarun the documentation could be improved in this area ( @OwenGeo ?) 

Add story navigation refers extensively to "headings", and one learning StoryMaps could reasonably assume that "headings" is being used as a general term, rather than the specific Text block type of "Heading 1". There is a note on that page about it, however, again, it likely assumes too much prior knowledge, "To convert text into a heading, highlight the text you want to edit and select Heading from the text editing toolbar." There is no "Heading" option, but rather one needs to select "Heading 1."

Unfortunately the Add credits documentation is lacking an explanation of how it integrates with navigation. By default, under Design, and under Optional story sections, Credits is toggled on for new stories, however, the Credits section will not appear by default in the Navigation until you put some text into the field "Add a credits heading (optional)". Once you've entered text into that field, then that text is what appears in the Navigation bar.

Thanks for the feedback on this @PeterKnoop. I agree the doc should be improved in this area.

We are working on a complete overhaul of the ArcGIS StoryMaps documentation in conjunction with migrating to a new, more flexible doc management system. The timeline is not totally in our control since another team is responsible for the system upgrades, but we are hoping that it will be rolled out later this year or early next year. We will add this to the list of updates we intend to make!
