Hello everyone -
I've ran into a couple of issues this semester which receiving the error message when trying to publish StoryMaps in a variety of scenarios - almost always, it's been due to the browser not being updated, the project was left open for an extended time without activity, and we can usually resolve it with restarting/updating the browser. However, I have one that genuinely has me stumped.
I did reach out to Tech Support previously about it, so I replied back to reopen the ticket - but originally it was not publishing because of a rogue space in the StoryMap. After deleting that, we were able to publish it, but now it's stopped updating or publishing all together.
Becuase it's a student project, I tried duplicating it, and I get this message:
It still duplicates to my account, but I noticed everytime I try to edit it, it just gets stuck on Saving... and doesn't complete the Save process
Every time I try to publish it (any visbility) I get these messages
I'm unsure what to do at this point and wonder if anyone has suggestions! Because it's stuck, I can publish it to share for others to view here. I have admin permissions so it's not a permissions issue - it happens in multiple browsers and multiple computers of various OS.
If anyone else has had this problem happen, what were you able to do to resolve it? I'm a little stuck at this point.
Thank you!
Quick update - I created a blank StoryMap, and then copy-pasted all of the text content to the new StoryMap, and reuploaded the same pictures and Web Map.
It saves and published successfully! So recreating the project from scratch fixed it. It's a really mystery on why the only other won't save with the same exact content, but the new version works.
