I'm finding that when I try to reorder an image that is in float orientation it reverts back to "small" and moves it away from where I tried to reorder it to.  It seems to jump to a previous section in the story map, away from where I dragged it to. ... View more

Ok, thanks Owen.  I thought Aravind was referring to the images in the scrolling section of the sidecar, not the main image.  Sorry for the confusion. ... View more

Hey Vaidila, have you tried just entering it as a map instead of a web app?  I see that it works in other areas, but it might help for that one on p.10 since you're trying to switch the panels from one side to the other over the same map.  Something about it being a web app might be complicating things.  If you really wanted people to be able to interact with the content you could always put a link in the sidecar to the web app.  It looks like a great project though, all bugs aside. ...

I can't seem to find this feature for images in StoryMaps.  The only options I'm given for images in a sidecar are to move it with the drag tab or to add alternative text.  Is there something else I need to do in order to change the fit? ... View more

I apologize for my unfamiliarity with this, but where can I go to find this feature?  Is it only available in the new version of story maps?  It certainly sounds like something that I would be really interested in utilizing. ... View more

Thanks Amanda for the post and Owen and the rest of the story maps team for getting on it so quickly.  The new version of story maps just seems to be lacking in the customization arena, which is what I loved about the original so much.  For that reason, I'm waiting for the new version to get up to speed a bit before I switch over to it.  I agree with all of the suggestions being proposed and would just like to point out the ones that would be most useful to me: The ability to duplicate sidecar slides.  I've seen this in other posts, but just wanted to reiterate it.  It was a very helpful feature for me to use instead of a time slider which can be a little awkward to use in a story map at times.  Being able to duplicate a slide and then toggle layers on and off really helps to make that a smoother process and still show the before and after views. The ability to see an overview of the content you have added so far and be able to rearrange the content like Amanda proposed would be really helpful.  If there was a way to see an even more zoomed out overview of the content, kind of like if you were to zoom out to 50 or 60% in a word doc and be able to see multiple pages at a time that might be helpful.  I like being able to do this because it gives me a better idea of the overall flow of whatever I'm working on. Adding different options for how a sidecar moves over content would be nice too. I especially liked the ability to align text and titles in the original as well.   I'm sure you guys have your hand's full with all of this right now, but the new addition looks great, you guys should be really proud, and I'm excited to see where you take it. ...

Thanks for the reply Doug.  So you just put a constraint on the following questions that will remind them that they've already picked that answer previously? ... View more

Thank you so much Jim.  I really appreciate it and think it would be a helpful feature. ... View more
