Hello,

can I add Basemap Gallery widget to Story Map Shortlist teplate? Is there any easy way to add it with own basemaps?

We are using template latest version 2.4.3.

Hi Kamil -- Do you want to A) change the basemap in a Shortlist story to your own basemap that doesn't appear in the builder basemap gallery, or B) add a way for your readers to change the basemap themselves from a list of basemaps you provide?

For (A), you can just open the web map associated with your Shortlist story from your Content page on arcgis.com, swap in whatever basemap you want, and save the web map. The next time you load your Shortlist the new web map will be shown.

For (B), you would need to download the Shortlist app code from Github and customize it to add a basemap picker. However, in most cases we believe providing this option for readers is unnecessary with such a simple app as Shortlist. You might be interested in reading this related GeoNet thread, which has more thoughts on this.
