Collections are a new way of bundling related stories together in a single location that can be managed by you, the author and viewed by your readers when shared.
Get started by logging into the new ArcGIS StoryMaps, clicking your profile picture in the header, and selecting My Collections (beta).
You can also use the URL: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/collections.
This is the first release of this beta feature, and we'll be adding lots more capabilities in the future, but we'd like to hear your first impressions and thoughts:
The collections feature is a great tool to separate chapters in a larger report we are developing. I did notice that when I navigate away from an embedded ArcGIS webmap (i.e., continuing to scroll down the report), the map will unload from the story. When I scroll back to that map, the map has to reload all over again. Hopefully this will be addressed in the final product.
Thanks!
Have been digging for awhile in your documentation about storymaps for ArcGIS Enterprise and have found little to no doc on the prerequisites and server/portal requirements for setting the new Storymaps up and enabling and disabling for Creators (and other user types, besides StoryTeller). Will provide this feedback on other "Getting Started" docs.
If I link within a certain chapter of my Collection to another chapter (i.e., item=8), the link automatically opens in a new window. It would be nice to be able to jump from Item 4 to Item 8 in the same tab using hyperlinks within the stories themselves.
This is what I'm working on, for example: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/collections/afda948e70b74e2daf0ff775653a9896
