When embedding in Instant App in StoryMaps - I noticed that the icon to "open the app in a new window" is usually overlapping the home button:

I tried experimenting with the settings and different formats, but I can't quite get the icon to shift differently. It makes it really hard to click on the Home button to recenter the map. 

If anyone knows of a setting that might work, any advice is welcome!

@SaraJL - Thanks for sharing this idea! We realize the current treatment isn't a universal solution. Unfortunately, since this button is placed on top of the embedded content, it will always cover something. If we shift the button to a different spot, it will overlap something different and potentially be worse for other types of content. We have discussed a few alternatives but haven't prioritized any changes at this time.

For now, if that button overlaps something important in your embed I would recommend you turn it off in the Embed options. If you need to provide a way for readers to open the content in a new tab, you can add a link to the embed in the caption or sidecar side panel.
