Is there a way to add an "Attribution" (credits/notes/other info) to an interactive map in a story map, like you can with images (where a little "i" icon shows up on the image after Attribution text is added)? We need a way to add more subtle info about interactive maps in Sidecars (beyond the small credits that show up at the very bottom of an interactive map, and beyond adding text to the story map text itself.

Hi @LindsayWithers1! Currently, the bar at the bottom of the screen is the way to add attribution directly on the map. Alternatively, you could provide some information in the caption or in the credits section at the end of the story.

To keep things simple, we try not to duplicate functionality or provide too many ways to do the same thing in the story builder. Since maps already come with their own attribution mechanism, we haven't added another way to do this like there is for images. But if you would like to add your request to the Ideas board and provide more information about how this would enhance your experience and/or the experience of your readers, others may feel the same way and vote for this idea and we can consider it for the future.
