Builder mode icon

[CarolynMitchell]

I am planning to share story maps with my team on Monday. When building a practice map today, I discovered that this icon is at the top of the map:

Does anyone know how to get rid of it? I've researched it but have been unable so far to figure out how to remove it or show it in a different view so that the audience won't see the "switch to builder mode" rectangle. I didn't remember seeing it before. If anyone can share how to present the map without seeing this, I would appreciate it.

You are in the place for help about GeoNet... perhaps you want to move this to Story Maps within the community

GeoNet Community Structure

Thank you. I will remove my posting.

No need to remove... just move it

[CarolynMitchell]

I saw that moving it was an option and did that. Thank you!

Good!

Now... they dont seem to have a simple help section that I could find... but there was this link that popped up, which may be more than what you want... there is a blog in there as well

Thank you for being so kind. I will look at this information. I also got another suggestion about this issue so I think I may be on the right track.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Carolyn,

The builder button is present if the author of the story is logged into their online account.  You can view your story without this button by either accessing it through a browser's incognito mode, or by simply logging out of your online account.  You will need to make sure to share your story in order to view it without your credentials.

That is extremely helpful. Thank you!
