Vertical alignment of sidecar text
I've got a question that's stumped me - I'd be grateful for any suggestions! I have a series of storymaps brought together in a Collection: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/collections/3bae1549efe642ec9ab0dd724fcbf8f2 Each individual storymap within the collection starts with a sidecar, with a map or an image on the right and…

Change Image type to a video
In a storymap you get the option to add in a image which becomes the thumbnail of the story which is super…. I like the different formats. Will this change to include videos? I know we have a 50Mb limit to the images and the videos we can upload. Here at Exmoor we would like if possible to add a number of images and then…

Use real, semantic links or buttons in Express Map legend
In the Express map blocks, the key/legend uses an unordered list ( ) for the list of clickable locations, which works fine for visual and keyboard navigation. However, the list items (* ) inside it are all assigned the button role (role="button"), which is not valid HTML—and it's a WCAG 2.1 violation that results in screen…

WCAG 2.1 violation in Express Map block's key
If this has already been discussed, I apologize - I tried searching for as many keywords as I could before posting. In map blocks, the key/legend has an unordered list ( ) of clickable locations, which works fine for visual and keyboard navigation. However, the list items (* ) are all assigned the button role,…

Overwriting a StoryMap
I've got tricky task that I can use some help with. My organization has a really popular and amazing StoryMap that was made many years ago. Last year some users created a new version of the StoryMap (in a new item) using some of the new StoryMap features (tours, view button, etc.). We'd like the replace the content in the…

Readd zoom to map tour slide images in edit mode
I am Project support for a government conservation team. I would like to be able to use the zoom tool tip and view the full size slide images in map tours while in edit mode. The impacted project is a public education map tour that shows data on ecological monitoring sites. As a public facing document, it is important that…

Add hyperlink to images in StoryMap Briefing
Currently Storymap briefings do not seem to allow you to add a hyperink to an image. This feature does exist in the normal version of storymaps. Would love to be able to do this within a briefing. I use briefings pretty heavily for GIS workshops and presentations and I think this is a feature that would add value.

New text block style: Callout
Hello, Community. Apologies if this has been proposed already, but I didn't see it anywhere. I'm wondering if there are plans to offer a new text style that would act exactly like a quote block but would be a separate style (box with optional internal shading, for example) that would allow us to highlight unique chunks of…

StoryMaps adding ArcGIS App Issue
I've had a few users approach me over the last couple of weeks highlighting some odd behaviour when trying to add, instead of embed, an ArcGIS App into a storymap. When selecting "Add ArcGIS App" their content is not visible, or some of it is visible but not other items. I managed to have a proper look at it within a call…

Question about the "Story Language" in the Story Insights
Hello everyone! I was looking through the documentation, and this might be a duh question - but I'm trying to get a better understanding of why my StoryMaps are getting flagged by the story language function. We have quite a few StoryMaps that may include other languages, but the primary language of the StoryMap is still…

Remove the zoom function on map in Map Tour to protect specific locations
We love the Map Tour in story maps, but we have sensitive data that we don't want shown at all scales. The point at the statewide scale is vague enough to protect the exact location. The Zoom In/Out function on the Map Tour map can't currently be turned off. It would be nice to have a toggle to turn off this function.

Unable to click links in Attribution notes
I was wondering if anyone else was running into this issue! I've been building my professional portfolio in StoryMaps - but we also heavily use the Attribution function for citiations on media. I've been running into this issue where the sensitivity is so high, the pop-ups go away before you can click on them. I'm trying…

Increase the outline width of the attribution icon
Playing around with different themes and adding a lot of images with various types of composition - sometimes the attribution icons are really difficult to see. I don't think it needs to be customizable, but it would be helpful if the width of the outline was increased so it stands out a little more on the background. Link…

StoryMap Chart Errors
Our StoryMaps continue to generate errors when loading charts. There does not appear to be a consistent fix; refreshing the page occasionally resolves the issue, but this is unreliable. See below the error message: Error Error: EventDispatcher is disposed

Choose between displaying the original creator or owner in StoryMap details
I'm not 100% sure if this is more of an ArcGIS Online idea, or maybe a combination of both ArcGIS Online and StoryMaps. Please feel free to move it if this is not the correct place! In the last year or so - we've been working on building a public StoryMap gallery of projects created by past users that we can share with the…

Linking individual sidecar slides
I want to make a StoryMap that lets the audience start at any point in a sidecar (in slideshow orientation) to show the full extent of the content's looping behavior. The way I theorized this working is by having buttons for all the starting points. Each button links to an individual slide in a sidecar, then the user can…

Flourish Embeds Being Cut Off at Bottom
I have noticed that when trying to embed a Flourish visualization (using the iframe method), it often cuts the bottom of the iframe off. It doesn't matter what I enter for the height parameter either. Is this a known issue? Can a fix be applied?

Media Action - Keep Extent Option
When using a sidecar: It would be great to explore the map, zoom and pan around, and then use media actions to be able to add other layers while keeping the same zoom / map extent. Idea: Media Action to have a "keep extent" option rather than reverting to the default map extent.

Storymap migration failed
When my consumer Storymaps account was migrated last year to a new arcgis.com account, it became effectively uneditable. However the storymaps link works a treat, so I forgot about it. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/35cdfc9ab76545cc9d6e46e3c123741b. (The storymap is saved as an SMX, presumably to indicate it as a…
