The ability to "Copy Python Command" for a geoprocessing tool, from the tool dialog or the history is very handy when building a Python Notebook or script for automation. It would be great to be able to do that for when you select "Share As Web Layer" or "Overwrite Web Layer" as well. Figuring out the correct Python to accomplish those two tasks is notoriously challenging. Being able to fill out those dialogs, and then copy the resulting chain of ArcGIS python methods (e.g., FeatureSharingDraft, StageService, Upload Service Definition, etc.), would be a great help!

@RussRoberts we have a user in our ArcGIS Online organization reporting this error occurs now whenever they try to open the Groups tab in Chrome/Edge. Is this likely another manifestation of the same bug?

Thanks, @MarkZollinger. I wasn't quite sure which page in the documentation to attach a comment too, so I took the Idea route. To be clear, I'm not looking for more examples to be included on the silent installation page, but rather the full documentation for SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe to be provided.

Reading this Idea, I would suggest the underlying use case is to make access to Group functionality (create a group, manage membership, share content with a group, etc.) easier for people using StoryMaps (limited to the subset of such users who are not using other ArcGIS Online apps, such as Map Viewer, Survey123, etc.) It also feels to me that this use case is one of many symptoms of an artificial divide resulting from product silos. (See the Idea, Consolidate Story Maps into ArcGIS Online.) Given folks' background these days with cloud drives and productivity apps (e.g., Google Drive and Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc., or the Apple or Microsoft equivalents) they are generally familiar with the user experience pattern pairing content management and apps. Perhaps another way to reach the user goal of this Idea would be to do away with StoryMaps customized content management page, and redesign user interactions with StoryMaps to follow that familiar pattern. In this case, ArcGIS Online "Content" is the content management portion, and the StoryMaps app is the app portion. (See the Idea, Consolidate Story Maps into ArcGIS Online.) So for a group doing a final project utilizing StoryMaps, one of the members needs to create the StoryMap and they or another member needs to create the Group. To create the StoryMap, one of the members of the group could go to their "Content". From there they could initiate a new StoryMap (or Theme or Collection), like they can create a new Google Doc from Google Drive or a new Excel sheet from OneDrive. When they need to subsequently view or edit their story, then they get to it from their Content, like when working with content stored in Google Drive and OneDrive. To create the Group, one of the members of the group could go to their "Groups". From there they could initiate a new group. When they subsequently need to view or edit their group, or update its membership, then they get to it from their Groups. (Unfortunately the approach to sharing that ArcGIS Online takes, does not match the expectations of how you manage sharing in Google or Microsoft collaboration environments, so you cannot build on past experiences, and have to deal with a disconnect.) So rather than duplicating more of the ArcGIS Online capabilities into the StoryMaps app (i.e., group management), I would like to see user goal here addressed by moving the content management part of the StoryMaps app into ArcGIS Online Content. In such a scenario, one might also get rid of the Map, Scene, and Notebook tabs in ArcGIS Online, and enable users to create new web maps, web scenes, and notebooks, following the same user experience they would use to create any other type of ArcGIS Online app content (e.g., StoryMaps, Survey123 form, Dashboards, Experiences, Instant Apps.)

@RobertAnderson3 the shortest way I've found to find a survey's itemID in Survey123 Connect is to use "View item in ArcGIS Online" from "More actions". In the browser window that opens, I grab the itemID from the URL. It would be nice to have the itemID directly displayed somewhere within Connect, such a with the survey's Details. (Sounds like another Idea to create...)

Please make cut-and-paste of extent compatible across Pro. For example, I have a raster in a map, and I want to use the raster's extent with a geoprocessing tool, like Create Map Tile Package. I would like to be able to copy the Extent from the layer's properties, and paste it into the geoprocessing tool's Extent parameters. The Properties dialog for layers includes a Copy for the Extent: What ends up on the clipboard is: Top 4,205,399.075020 m Bottom 4,204,529.213820 m Left 516,777.957490 m Right 518,054.691890 m Unfortunately, this does not appear to be the format expected when using Paste Extent in a geoprocessing tool. Attempting to paste the above sets all the values to 0: When I manually enter the correct values, and then Copy Extent: The results on the clipboard use a different format: 516777.95749 518054.69189 4204529.21382 4205399.07502 PROJCS["WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_35N",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",500000.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",27.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",0.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]] I would like it to be possible cut-and-paste Extent to/from anywhere in the ArcGIS Pro interface.

@tmo, the example you provided is a StoryMap Collection, which contains six StoryMaps. The link you provided goes directly to the sixth story in the collection; you can also link to the top-level of the collection. So what you are seeing when viewing a story within the collection, is the Collection's navigation bar on the top, and the StoryMap's navigation bar on the bottom: Using a StoryMap Collection is a helpful way to present readers with a two-level hierarchy for navigation, when you have enough content to warrant an additional layer of grouping.

@patriciacdale, yes, the cropping/padding only helps with improving the relative sizing between images. You are still subject to the limitations of the width of your reader's browser window. It sounds like your goal is to ensure the text in a screenshot is readable when you incorporate the image into a story using the two-column layout. Given that you don't have control over the width of your reader's browser window, it seems like there would not be a single answer to resizing/scaling the image to keep the text readable for all possible widths. Maybe another way to achieve the goal could be to specify a minimum display width for an image? And, if the space available in the reader's browser window for the two-column layout is less than the specified minimum for the image, then StoryMaps would revert to a single-column layout for that section. And, if the browser window is still too narrow, even using the single-column layout, then you would fall back on the reader having to pop-out the image to pan/scroll it at the resolution specified by the minimum width. (StoryMaps already reverts from two-column to single-column when a reader's browser window is narrower than 700 pixels.)

Relating to @patriciacdale's two great examples above, I wish the StoryMap's Image Editor supported cropping an image to be larger than its original size, and filled in the extra area as transparent. For the QR code example, my current approach is to make all of the images I use with left- or right-alignment the same width in an external image editor. When that means cropping (not resizing) an image to a larger width than its original width, then the extra area is filled in with transparency. The end result are images that are more appropriately sized relative to each other.

In the Survey123 Field App, after opening a record to view from the Inbox, I sometimes want to step through the adjacent records from the Inbox list. I would like to avoid the extra steps of going back-and-forth from list to a record to list to record to list to record and so on... It would be helpful to have a way to navigate to the next/previous record in the Inbox directly from the record view. Perhaps next/previous arrows could be added to the bottom of the screen? When Viewing a record the bottom portion of the screen is blank space (when Editing a record it is where the submit checkmark is displayed.) On a touch screen device, when viewing a record, perhaps swipe-left and swipe-right could also be enabled for navigating to the next/previous record?

The ability to right-click on a group or the "View details" link on the group's card disappeared with the February 2024 ArcGIS Online update. Please bring it back. This is similar to the problem and fix reported in "Open Link in a New Tab" for AGOL content items as it was before. Given the similarities between the Content and Group user experiences, I would expect them to behave the same, so that what one learns to do in one can be intuitively applied to other; and, I would like it to be the case that you can open in a new tab with groups, the same as you can do with content. (I will note that for Groups, if you select a group, then you can right-click on the View details link in the snapshot on the left to open in a new tab; however, that requires an extra click and moving the cursor.) I often want to open multiple groups from search results, where the groups are related. I might want to open them in different tabs so I can compare them side-by-side. I might want open them in different tabs to copy-and-paste information from one to other.

Another use case for surfacing a web map's bookmarks in Survey123 is for when you need to collect, but are not actually at the location you want to select, and need to record the location manually. When you go to collect a new survey, a geopoint question opens the map at your current GPS location. You can pan/zoom to your study area, however, this is time-consuming to do when you are on the other side of the world. It would be helpful to be able to select a bookmark to jump to your study area more quickly and easily.

When searching for surveys in Survey123 Connect, it can sometimes be difficult to identify the specific survey you want to open by name alone. It would help in such cases if a person could use an item ID in the search field. In a large organization, some users may end up owning a lot of surveys. Such users may inherit multiple surveys that have the same or very similar names. They may have a survey's item IDy from internal documentation, and email, or other sources, and they would like to enter that directly into Survey123 Connect's search field to find that specific survey.

Are you at a higher-education institution that makes broad use of ArcGIS StoryMaps? Are you responsible for supporting the use of ArcGIS StoryMaps across your institution? Are you able to spend the time to create or identify existing ArcGIS StoryMaps Ideas that will benefit your institution's user community as a whole? If you answered "yes" to all of the above, then please consider joining a discussion -- with fellow higher-ed participants -- of improvements and enhancements your institution would like to see in ArcGIS StoryMaps. The goal of the discussion will be to discuss with the Esri ArcGIS StoryMaps team a consensus-ranked set of top-priorities for higher-ed users at the upcoming Esri User Conference. This activity typically involves each institution submitting up to three top-priority ArcGIS StoryMap Ideas to generate an aggregated list, a period of discussion of those Ideas, and then a rank-voting of the Ideas on that list. If you are interested in participating in this activity, please email me (knoop@umich.edu) by Friday, 14 June. We have carried out this activity a couple times so far, and the ArcGIS StoryMaps team is excited to continue the process, and looks forward to meeting with us at this year's UC. We don't always get what we want right away, some things take A LOT of work and some things cross multiple development teams' boundaries. Getting things on their radar, however, has been very helpful in the long run.

I would like an option to turn off the auto-numbering of stories in the Grid layout for Cover in a StoryMap Collection. Sometimes you have a collection of stories where the numbers may be mistaken for an indication of the ranking of the stories, or some other incorrect inference. It would be helpful in such cases to be able to disable the automatic numbering to avoid potential confusion or misinterpretation.
