An Undo button would be nice, but as a workaround for everyone here saying they are losing work when accidently deleting stuff -- it is possible to use the 'Discard Changes' option and reload the page to go back to your last published state.

With Map Viewer Classic, it's possible for users to add additional layers to a web map without signing in by clicking the 'Modify Map' option. This functionality doesn't appear to be available in the New Map Viewer and isn't mentioned in the functionality guide blog post or the New Map Viewer documentation, as it was in the Map Viewer Classic documentation (second 'Note' bubble on the page). Is there a reason for this? Are there plans to implement it later?

Not sure if this should be a different idea or not -- but additionally to this idea, I would also really like to see custom icons for the Map Tours (same functionality that was just added to express maps) as well as being able to change the color of the numbers on the points for a guided tour. I'm currently working with a dark basemap and would like to use white icons, but the numbers on the stops are white by default and so you wouldn't be able to read them. Even just a toggle for white or black numbers, depending on which contrasts best. Thanks for all the great updates you've been putting out!

I saw that in a recent blog post as well - releasing March 30. Looking forward to that functionality!

I also think that this would be a nice option to have, for both aesthetic reasons and a better use of space on larger screens (less scrolling). Perhaps a new widget for a "Button Group"? It could have vertical stacking, horizontal placement, and maybe even a grid layout option for if there are many buttons. The vertical stacking of subsequent buttons (the way it is now) is great for mobile and should probably stay like that, but horizontal and grid layouts that only appear when screen size allows would be wonderful. Edit: I'll add that one of the most common criticisms we hear from our staff and readers for StoryMaps in general is the amount of scrolling involved. I don't always get it and people apparently have very different thresholds for what's considered too much scrolling, but we hear it a lot. The way buttons stack now isn't very space efficient on large screens, so any little thing to help reduce the amount of scrolling would be nice for those folks.

I'd also really like to see this functionality return. It's a very small nitpick, but I find myself clicking those icons over and over again - constantly forgetting that they do not link to the groups. Would be a nice quality of life enhancement.

Thanks, currently I'm trying to attempt something close to this workflow: https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000014520 and using a spatial join in the place of Step 4. It also uses the workflow you linked as one of the steps. I'll come back and update if it works.

Long story short, I have a need to transfer photo attachments from one feature class to another based only on an overlap/intersection. I'm having trouble thinking of a workflow for this (or perhaps I'm overthinking it). I do not have any reliable attributes like a GLOBALID to join between the two feature classes and transfer that way, I just have the matching locations. Fortunately the points I need to transfer attachments for overlap the points with the attachments exactly. Any ideas? I'm open to either something I can script with python or do manually through ArcGIS Pro if necessary. I do have thousands of points, however, so manually saving the photos one by one and reattaching them to their new points is something I'd rather avoid.

Having the option to add short descriptions below the thumbnail for each story on the initial Collections gallery/splash page would be helpful in cases where commentary from the collection curator regarding each item can provide additional context or insight as to why it is in the collection. For example, we are running a StoryMap of the month for our organization to highlight internal content from our various program areas, and being able to say what we liked about each item or say more about the program area who worked on it could add more overall value. Thanks for your time and consideration!

@Anonymous User That's great to hear. Thanks!

Our organization is eager to have this functionality as well. Hoping to have an update or news of an ETA soon.

Hello there. For context, I'm using Fields Maps on an Android smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S9+ with ~6.5" screen). Currently, hint text will appear within its associated input box, but is not actually visible until the user taps the input box. (Before tapping the input box, the field name is displayed there.) However, if the field has a domain, tapping the box immediately opens up the list of choices for that field, meaning you do not get to see the hint text unless you back out, without choosing a value. Additionally, when it does display, the hint text gets cut off if it is longer than 6 or so words, limiting its usefulness. This is probably less of an issue on larger tablets. It would be helpful to have the hint text placed below the input box (or at least an option to), similar to how the descriptions for field Groups are currently displayed, and to how hint text is placed in Survey123. Alternatively, having the hint text appear in a bar near the top of the screen only after the input box has been tapped (especially if there is a choice list for that field), might be another option. Thanks for your time and consideration!

Did you ever figure this issue out? I'm having the exact same problem trying to do a truncate and append.

Not sure if this is still the best place to bring it up, but I agree with Nick that a toggle option for having the slideshow play automatically on a loop would be very helpful in some instances. I really like how the Slideshow let's you queue up additional images/maps within the Story Map laterally that might only be supplementary to the main content, but I feel like there's a good chance a lot of users will scroll right through them without even realizing the extra content is even there. Having it loop on its own (a pause button would also be awesome in this case) might help alert people of that additional content. -Aaron

One of our users has seen a similar issue as well recently, though they are on Collector Classic. Progress bar gets close to the end quickly and then stalls out before popping this error. Data is hitting an AGO proxy item for an ArcGIS Server REST service, has been working fine for a couple months now. -Aaron
