Making the arcgis online map from which the storymap works invisible in searches?

[AdamOlson]

I have a simple question.

I would like to make the arcgis online web map invisible to public searches so that when people type in my topic they only see the story map application not also the web map.

I noticed if I do not share the web map the storymap application does not work.

I would think ArcGIS would give us the option to hide the map so users only see and click on the application but I can not find that option.


Please advise.

Adam,

do you have a free account or an organizational account?

[AdamOlson]

Organizational accounty

Even with an organizational account I don't think this is possible, but since you are a paying customer, I would call ESRI customer support and get it clarified.

For other users.

I contacted ESRI support.

There is not option to go invisible in searches.

I just give it a odd name and then put in an odd tag like "prepmap"

Then it won't show up in the public's search
