I love the Cascade template, but the maps I use within it could do with having a visible legend. I can't see this in the options - am I missing something?

Hi Katy,
Thanks for submitting feedback on Cascade. We have not added a legend feature yet but have it on our list to add in a future release.
When creating story maps, we do recommend trying to use very simple maps that don't require a legend or that can be easily explained in the story narrative; however, we of course realize that is not always possible.
For now, the best option is to either take a screenshot of the legend in the map viewer or create your own graphic and add that as an image to your story. This can be done as an in-line image in a sequential section or in the immersive panel if the map is in an immersive section.

Thanks Owen. My map is pretty simple, I would just like to differentiate between three different coloured symbols. A screenshot in the immersive panel is a good workaround for now.

Do the maps you are using already have a legend? This link suggests that you prepare the content prior to making the Cascade story map... otherwise I see no reference to making a legend after the fact

too late... I will leave the link to the tutorial
Thanks anyway, Dan!
