Is it possible to link to specific tabs within the Story Map Series app?  That is, provide a link that opens the app on a specific tab?

We are using this template in updating our County's Hazard Mitigation Plan.  Rather than always linking to the general URL for the app, it would be nice to provide a link to each relevant map (tab) within the app.

Yup, we use that functionality for our election map. We host it ourselves so the url is https://webmapssecure.ewashtenaw.org/ElectionRedirect/WebMap/nov2018/results.html?entry=2 to get to the second tab. Just add ?entry=TABNUMBERHERE to the end of your url. If it's hosted in ArcGIS Online, use '&' since there's already a parameter for appid: https://washtenaw.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=ac6567d73f7c4039bbc9667bea9b4458&e...

I'm getting a NET:ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID error. I would love to check out this page when the SSL is fixed Owen Evans‌.

Patrick -- We apologize for the security certificate issue that's been affecting access to the Developers' Corner blog. We have been working on getting it resolved, but there are some changes in security policies that have occurred since we established this blog on medium, so it's taking a bit of time to work through those. Yesterday we have arrived at a solution that is acceptable to all parties involved and we are working on getting it implemented, so we hope to have the blog back up soon.
