Hi @dolson_farmington , This isn't something that can currently be changed within the Map Tour. This has been requested in the past and is on our radar as a potential enhancement down the line. We can see the reasoning for wanting to have the locations top aligned in some scenarios, though the reasoning for centering the locations on the narrative panel is to allow the locations to be scrolled through and keep the map static. Without the spacing at the top, the scrolling would be less dynamic and that map tour would be set in place within the story.  Thank you for bringing this behavior up! You could potentially embed another ArcGIS app like you mentioned, but I'm not sure which could give this alignment you're looking for. I'll let you know if I see any that could give a similar layout.   --Abby ... View more

Hi All, Thank you for letting us know of the loading issue reappearing. We seemed to have a higher level of activity on Saturday that increased loading time. We are working on mitigating this behavior now and will post here with any updates. --Abby ... View more

@CorineNoufi , I think what may be best is actually adding an animation in the form of a GIF to several slides of a sidecar, and then adding the text you want to scroll through in the sidecar's narrative panel. That way you can scroll through the text, without having to compromise the quality of the images. This also has the added benefit of making the text more accessible and available to screen readers.  If you try this approach, you could create a GIF of the different animations and add it to one sidecar slide. You can then duplicate that slide, and add the different text to scroll through on each slide. That GIF will not jump as you scroll, which makes it easy for readers to scroll through the text at their own pace without worrying about the timing of the animation. It is likely that the photos in their current state would end up loading in time for readers as they scroll, as long as they have a standard network connection. Just wanted to provide this other idea of using a GIF in case you wanted to try it out! --Abby ... View more

Hi @CorineNoufi , that blurred image is the loading state for the image, which means it should be eventually showing as a clear image. How long are you waiting on that Preview page for the images to load? It may take a moment for several larger images to load.  Are you seeing any variance in waiting times between different browsers? --Abby ... View more

Hi @ChadLeftwich , Thanks for including that context. When I use the Chrome speech reader on the story you sent, it reads all of the slide narration to me. I am not hearing any image alt text however, did you have added attribution to the images within the sidecar at the minute? The screen shot you sent is of the builder, just want to check if you are testing the speech in Preview mode or on the published story as well, since that is how readers will be accessing the story? Feel free to send a video with recorded audio of the text reader and I can compare what we are hearing. --Abby ... View more

Hi @ChadLeftwich , My screen reader is reading the text and attribution from all slides in a sidecar. Are you adding those pictures and text on different slides, or all on a single slide within a sidecar? What browser and screen reader are you currently utilizing to test? Thanks! --Abby ...

Hi @NigelEdmead , Would you be able to share the URL of the story so we can take a look at this behavior? I'm also not seeing the home button's return to the initial default extent after navigating to a point in a different zoom level. --Abby ... View more

Thank you for providing this @SIHAN, we will continue to update as we look into this behavior.   --Abby ... View more

Hi @zhenghan @KalinDrennen , The issue regarding the maps not loading in the story is a high priority issue that we are currently investigating. We will continue sharing any updates on the behavior on the Esri Community site. If you have any public URLs you are able to share showing the behavior, feel free to send them here.   Regarding the broken map actions. @zhenghan , I can take a look at this and see if I can reproduce a similar behavior using broken bookmarks. This is unexpected behavior, and we would hope you would be able to return to edit mode on a published story, even with broken links.   --Abby   ... View more
