@SaraJL I can confirm that is NOT currently working for us in ArcGIS Online. It has worked previously, however, so seems to be a new bug. From an early 2025 presentation I did, below is what the pop-up notification looked like at the time:

@AaronKoelker it was introduced back in August 2020, so if it isn't working now, I would suspect a bug was introduced, perhaps in the most recent (Feb 2026) release.

ArcGIS StoryMaps is supposed to provide a notification when someone else is already editing a story. "If you are editing an ArcGIS StoryMaps item at the same time as someone else, a notification will appear and display their name and how long ago their last change was made." (source) If you're not seeing such a notification, then perhaps you've uncovered a bug?

I don't think the issue is with your code. Rather, I think you may have run into a bug with the ArcGIS API for Python, and you've correctly tracked down the Web Map as the culprit. The Web Map you are attempting to clone references a custom basemap, and I suspect there is a bug in the API that is getting triggered when it attempts to clone the Vector tile layers used in the custom basemap, which ends up hanging the process. Based on running into this elsewhere very recently, a quick workaround should be to set use_org_basemap = True for clone_items(). It will replace references to the custom basemap with your orgs default basemap. (If you really need the custom basemap, then should be able to recreate it on your destination org first, and then use item_mapping during the cloning of the StoryMap.

ArcGIS Online provides a few ways of directly communicating important information to users: Notifications Information Banner Access Notice Currently a user is blocked from receiving messages via these channels, if they are inside the StoryMaps web space. If they are interacting solely with https://storymaps.arcgis.com, then there is no notification icon in the top-right, nor are users presented with the Information Banner or Access Notice when they visit or login to their organization. These are key messaging channels for alerting users to critical information. For example, in Higher-Education, it is an Esri recommended "best practice" to use use the Information Banner to alert students that should remember to proactively manage their content prior to graduation and losing access. The usefulness of these communication channels is also one of the rationales cited in the Idea, Consolidate Story Maps into ArcGIS Online. In the absence of incorporating the functionality of the StoryMaps landing page into ArcGIS Online, perhaps the ArcGIS Online communication channels could be integrated into the StoryMaps web space? This would enable administrators to still be able to reach users with important messages, even if the users are spending their time isolated in the StoryMaps web space. (The same problem exists with other products using siloed web spaces, such as https://experience.arcgis.com/ and https://survey123.arcgis.com/, however, it is much less likely that people using those tools are not also visiting pages in their ArcGIS Online organization, and seeing the messaging there.)

There are workarounds, however, it would be nice if Item export() supported this directly.

I would also add the use case of needing to redirect users when content is moved between ArcGIS Online organizations and/or Enterprise portals. If the initial URL was widely circulated and used, it would be helpful if a redirect could be provided for folks visiting that URL, which would take them to the new version of the item at its new location.

@JackDrost it is a zip file. If you manually open it in something like 7-Zip, then it will figure it out. Otherwise, you can always replace the suffix ".contentexport" with ".zip", and use your favorite method for zip files.

I understand Esri's position is that allowing a regular group to be changed to a Shared Update group, after creation, would violate users' trust. They joined or were added to a group to which they may have shared items, which would be read-only in a regular group. Changing the group to a Shared Update group would "unexpectedly" result in such items becoming editable. Accepting that position, are there ways could Esri still support the ability to change a regular group to a Shared Update group, without "surprising" users? Our use cases, and I suspect many others, do typically come about because someone has added content to a group, and realized after the fact they need this unexpected thing called a "Shared Update" group to enable the kind of collaboration they need. So all the members want the group type changed. Perhaps Esri could implement a workflow to that would enable changing a regular group to a Shared Update one: Such a change could send a notification to all members of the group. If they didn't want to be part of the group at that point, or want to share their own content with the group, then they could leave the group or un-share their content from the group. Such a change could be initiated, but only completed after all existing members had acknowledged they were okay with the change? Provide a way to duplicate a regular group to a Shared Update group, minus the shared content. and other options I'm sure creative folks can think up...

@JeffShaner, if we need a quick fix, is it correct to add the missing typeKeyword of "FieldMapsDisabled" to PDF items created prior to the ArcGIS OnlineFeb 2026 update, and which do not currently have the typeKeyword of "Geospatial PDF"? Thanks.

@AaronKoelker you can find the full list of available user types for your organization, including counts by examining: gis.properties.subscriptionInfo.userLicenseTypes It is not a definitive list of all possible User Types though. Only the ones available to you in your subscription, including ones that have not been assigned to any account yet. I too would like to see the documentation updated (and kept up-to-date) with an authoritative list of all possible User Types.

@NairiSevajian a use-case that comes to mind for me is when a user is viewing content in a folder for a project, and they want to remind themselves of its structure and contents, or understand the structure and contents that were someone else's choice. Viewing all of the content at once -- the whole picture -- organized by type, can make it easier to see an inferred structure, with the Experiences, Instant Apps, Web Maps, Hosted Feature Layers, etc. that make up the project sorted next to each other. Yes, filtering could be used to do something similar, however, they key for this use case is being able to see all of the content at once. Filtering only allows you to view a single item type at a time. Filtering is great when you have a use case with a singular need to view objects from one category, and when reducing a view of many objects to something manageable. Sorting, however, is a better fit when one needs to view a reasonably-sized collection of objects in its entirety, organized by categories.

It would be helpful to have some way to easily see what changes have been made in a draft story, as compared to the published version. Particularly in cases where a series of edits over time are required, before you publish the updated story. One could view the draft and published versions of a story side-by-side in two browser tabs, however, it is easy to overlook differences that way, especially if they are minor changes. Something like a compare or diff tool that would visually highlight the differences is desired. It would help one to identify blocks that had been added, deleted, or edited since the story was last published. Use cases: A group collaboratively authoring a StoryMap. They currently have to use a Shared Update group to achieve this goal, and ensure they have a way to coordinate who is authoring the story when, so that they don't run the risk of overwriting each other's edits. When it is one of the collaborators turns to edit the story, they may have forgotten what changes they have already made, and want to see what those are. Or, they may want to see what other changes have been made by other collaborators in other parts of the story since it was last published. If you are sporadically working on updating a story, or are juggling a lot of other tasks in ArcGIS, it can be difficult to remember where you left off editing story. In which case it would be helpful to remind yourself of what changes you have already made, which haven't been published yet. When an administrator is helping someone troubleshoot issues with their StoryMap, it can be helpful to identify what changes exist in the draft versus published versions, potentially narrowing down the source of a problem.

Shared ownership by multiple people also helps avoid issues when one person leaves, and any content owned, even though shared to groups, is deleted. It would be helpful if they were simply removed as an owner and the remaining users (or the group itself) continued "owning" the content.

In our ArcGIS Online organization most people need to work collaboratively with others in the system, hence, we need all of our users to be able to create Shared Update groups from the start. Please make it possible to assign the privilege of "Create with update capabilities" to a custom role, so that we can grant it to our users through New member defaults. Currently, if that privilege is assigned to a custom role, then you are unable to select that role for use with New member defaults. Manually re-assigning users to a custom role with that privilege, after their account is created, is not a scalable task for our administrators. (There are scripting workarounds, however, that is not a feasible solution for all organizations.) [This Idea originates from comments on Make ‘create group with update capabilities’ a non-admin privilege, and I am posting it as its own Idea for increased, clearer awareness @JeffShaw @AmyWork3 @ReinaCMurray @PatIampietro @ColeWhite]
