The embedded Web app is popping up at a different section of the StoryMap, where there's an embedded StoryMap Collection. See video.

Question

I have created a StoryMap and embedded a StoryMap Collection in one section. In a different section, I embedded a Web app that allows users to interact with multiple layers. However, when I navigate to the StoryMap Collection, the Web app embeds just pop up, as if the story is moving by itself. Any thoughts?

For reference, the StoryMap, StoryMap Collection  and Web app were created with ArcGIS Online, and two of the layers in the web app were published with ArcGIS Enterprise.

Hi @MonicaAlmeida1 ,

This is due to the splash screen in the embedded content that is causing the story to jump to that embed. We are aware of this behavior and are looking for ways to resolve it, but ultimately this behavior happens if embedded anywhere, not just in ArcGIS StoryMaps.

The best way to resolve the would be to either turn off that application's splash widget to keep the story from scrolling to that app, or to add &disableSplashFocus=true parameter to the end of the URL so the web page doesn't automatically scroll to the app. Check out the ArcGIS Web AppBuilder documentation here for more info.

Let me know if either of those solutions work for you!
