Automated Story Maps???

[RichardLawrence1]

Is automated display of story map content a feature that Esri would be interested in considering? We find that some storymaps are not intuitive to navigate...and having a suggested or default "engagement" that would "play" when the story map is accessed would add tremendous value to those who access a story map but who don't necessarily have experience navigating one.  Thanks for considering this.

Hi Richard,

Most story map apps already have autoplay. You can read more about which ones and how to use it in this blog:

Also, I'm curious to know what specific aspects of story map navigation you don't find intuitive. Would you be able to please provide a bit of detail so we can work to make improvements in the future?

Owen, your comments, as always, were very helpful...I completely missed autoplay in materials I had previously scanned for "what's new in storymaps."  Thank you VERY much for the contribution.
