When updating web maps that I have created exclusively for StoryMaps, any additional layers I add do not appear automatically in StoryMaps. Instead, they remain hidden, requiring me to manually make them visible each time. I understand that this is to prevent accidental updates in StoryMaps, but it would be beneficial to have a setting that allows for automatic updates in cases like these, where the web map is solely used in StoryMaps and should be easily updated.
I have also experienced this issue. It's especially counterproductive when making Story Maps for public-facing projects that need to be repeatedly revised with new map content, and thus introduces workflow issues when maps need to be manually replaced or refreshed each time anything is changed in order for those changes to be reflected.
A check box or similar configuration option to automatically update embedded maps would be helpful.
