I'm making a Story Map tour (explorer) with a number of different "themed" stories. Is there any way to have different color pins? I'm not a coder, so simpler solutions are better for me, if possible!

It sounds like@NikishaM  is working on a map similar to one we are working on. Any updates on this feature? Thanks!

We are currently working on designs for this feature, so it is in progress on our side, but we don't yet have an estimate for the date when it will be made available.

I'm adding to the voices here calling for an option that would enable different colored pins within the same tour. I'm using a tour format, and would like three colors for the different categories of "stops" on the tour: https://arcg.is/0zLWfX0. Hoping this update can be made!

Please let us know if this feature has been added. It will be most useful.

This feature is currently in development and we hope to make it available in Q1 of 2025.

I need to be able to distinguish between 3 types of points in my Map Tour, wanting some to be red, some blue & some green, based on what type of location. Did this ever get solved?

@NancyLRoss - This feature is currently in development and is still planned for release before the end of Q1 2025.

There is a new explorer tour layout called Categorized that enables you to specify the color and icon for each group of points.

For more information, see What's new in ArcGIS StoryMaps (February 2025)

I have a fully implemented Map Tour - Do I have to recreate it with the new Categorized or is there any way to color code an existing one? It's a monster StoryMap, but I suppose I can copy/paste, but I have to present it March 17th.
