Update a self-hosted story map

[DragonflyLight_Richards]

I have a self-hosted map tour story map that I created last winter by downloading and editing the template. That story map has a presence here:
http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=a7aedb46e18e4b3183783e3618606acb

And it actually lives here:  http://gis.ashland.or.us/LithiaHistoric/

I have created an update to this story map that includes more photos and information, and this time I used the builder, although I am still self-hosting. That story map currently lives here:

http://gis.ashland.or.us/LithiaHistoric2.0/

reference:  id=ca84ed0e9fab473e838a3f07eb32695a

(the images do not work by design, but will soon)

My question: Is it possible to swap in the new one by just renaming the file reference (i.e. delete the 2.0, and just call it LithiaHistoric)? A quick switcheroo behind the scenes? Is it possible to retain the "wrapper" indicated in my first file reference above, the piece that describes the contents? Or do I have to recreate it now that I have a 'registered' web app?

Thanks for help. I am confused as to what will happen and I do not want to ruin my initial work by just doing this.

Yes swapping out the folder is all you need. Optionally you are happy with the new tour, you can also delete the webmap that you were using in that first tour.

Okay, so when I did that, I was unable to enter the builder mode again. The story map itself did indeed work.

Do I need to update the registration here (see attached image) with the new web app ID?

Have you edited the URL of the item that has been created using the builder?

When you are doing so, you should still be able to use the builder, it will just ask you to sign-in inside the builder. What was happening for you?

But if you have trouble with that, one way to do it is to create another Web Mapping Application item.  The one where you just give the URL of your application. Then you keep the item generated through the builder as it was created without much information and nobody will find it

After renaming the directory, I can view the new story map here:

http://gis.ashland.or.us/LithiaHistoric/

But... if I type "edit" at the end to enter builder mode, I get a 404- directory not found notice. And in the "my-stories" location, if I click 'edit story' I get the same 404 notice. I did go in and change the url in my web mapping app, and that did not make a difference.

I will try creating another web mapping application item and see if that works.

[DragonflyLight_Richards]

No, that does not work either.

The original web map app that I created was called LithiaHistoric2.0. If I go into that "wrapper" and choose configure app in that location, I can get back to the builder.

Would you recommend just transferring all of the description in my original self-registered app into this new one and call it good?

Will I ever be able to get the features in my-stories to work with this work around?

Thank you for being patient and helpful with me. This is obviously not my area of expertise.

I completely edited the web mapping application information for my new entry story map (the one created automatically), and so I think everything is working well now. I can get back into editing from that interface, I just cannot get there from my-stories or by entering &edit after the story map title in my browser. But that's okay. I can do what I need to. Thanks for your help!

Ok great. Just to clarify for others, the URL to be used to enter builder when the application is deployed on custom server would be http://gis.ashland.or.us/LithiaHistoric/?edit (use ?edit not &edit). We will look to fix the issue in My Stories, thanks for feedback.
