I've used unicode characters as a workaround to get italicized characters into the title of an ArcGIS StoryMap. There are italic characters in Unicode's Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block (see Wikipedia's helpful table for the codes.) If you're unsure how to directly enter unicode characters, you can use your operating system's helper app, and cut-and-paste from there: Windows -- Character Map MacOS -- Emoji & Symbols - Character Viewer

Perhaps some else has found a way around this, however, all I can do is confirm that it doesn't seem possible to do this. Access to the Esri training site is tied to accounts visible to ArcGIS Online, whether they are built-in or enterprise accounts. ArcGIS Online provides a setting for accounts -- both built-in and enterprise -- called "Esri Access", which can be set to enable/disable access to training and other content. Enterprise, however, does not offer that same setting, as its accounts -- built-in or enterprise -- are not tied ArcGIS Online. So at the moment, it appears the only option is to setup ArcGIS Online to use the same enterprise scheme, and enable Esri Access for those accounts in Online.

I would guess this is because you are trying to directly embed your Sheet in your story using the URL you usually use to access your Sheet in Google Sheets. In that view Google is expecting to have full control over your browser window, and the content at that URL is not meant to play well with others. In order to embed a Google Sheet in another web page, you want to follow Google's steps for creating an embed URL, by "Publishing your Sheet", and then use that URL in your StoryMap: Make Google Docs, Sheets, Slides & Forms public: Embed files

I feel your frustration. These example Notebooks would be a great resource, if they were kept up-to-date, so those with little Python experience could learn from them. As it is, these Notebooks work briefly when they first come out, and then most stop working completely due to updates in the ArcGIS API for Python and/or the ArcGIS Online Notebook environment. Those updates usually trigger issues that someone new to Python likely does not have the right skills yet to diagnose, so they waste time and get nowhere. It would be nice if Esri committed to keeping the examples up-to-date. As of a few weeks ago, the missing step to getting SignImageClassificationModel working was to ensure you ran it using the correct, older runtime in an ArcGIS Online Notebook. So whether you download and then upload the Notebook, used Save As, or are cutting-and-pasting into your own Notebook, go to your Notebook's Settings, and change the runtime to "ArcGIS Notebook Python 3 Advanced with GPU support - 4.0". (See Specify the runtime of a notebook.) Once you've done that, then following the steps in the Notebook exactly -- installing version 1.8.4 of the API, restarting the kernel afterwards -- should result in a fully working Notebook.

At some point it appears that Esri changed the underlying limits on requests like this, hence, the "Too many requests" message. If you are running a lot of searches, like in this script, then you need to add a sleep timer to slow down the rate of our requests. We haven't figured out what the new limits are, nor have we come across any documentation, however, similar scripts that started failing for us with that error are now working fine again with a sleep inserted. Typically sleeping for 5 or 10 seconds between queries was required. Unfortunately that means your scripts will take much longer to complete.

@BenParker I have had similar disappearing content experiences. Two common causes I've found are when the link includes a security token or the link is to a Content Delivery Network (CDN) cache, rather than directly to the content itself. In the case of the token, some systems use them, even for publicly available content. They expect you to get to the content by going through their system, perhaps via their own "viewer app". In that case, the system can always generate an up-to-date token to append to the URL, and can support public access. In those systems, if you try to get to the content directly yourself, the URL you've copied into your story works fine, until that token times out, then things start failing. Similarly some systems assume you will go through them first, and they can direct you to the current URL for an item on their CDN. (CDN's are great for caching content closer to end-users to improve performance.) Those CDN URLs, however, can change over time; if something isn't accessed for awhile, then it may get dropped from the cache, and when someone accesses it again, it will get assigned a new URL. So a URL you've copied into your story works fine for awhile, but then starts failing when the content is no longer in the cached location. Your issue might not be Pano2VR itself, but rather how you are hosting the content it produces.

While the submit button and navigation bar can currently be hidden by using URL parameters, it would be great if this was surfaced more directly and easily in the Web Designer user interface. There are already on/off toggles under Appearance --> Layout Element for the header, description, and footer. It would be helpful to have toggles there as well for the submit button and navigation bar. Others have already shared some example use cases as to why one would want to hide the submit button, such as, Suppress Survey123 Form Submit Button. Our interest here is to improve the user experience of workflows for embedding Survey123 in other sites. For example, embedding a single choice question in a StoryMap being used in education or for training, such as: (Rules are configured for the first Single-choice question to show whether the user's answer is correct or incorrect using a couple of subsequent Note type questions. As is often desired for self-assessment, this gives the user immediate feedback, perhaps with a hint or link if they are wrong, a chance to answer again, and no need to formally submit an answer to the survey.) Currently this requires the author to understand how to use Survey123's URL parameters. Adding hide=submit,navbar to their survey's URL does what is needed. That approach, however, presents a barrier to the typical users who want to author StoryMaps like this with surveys for self-assessment. They are comfortable with figuring out the Web Designer user experience, but not with implementing URL parameters. If the ability to toggle on/off the navigation bar and submit button were directly available in the Web Designer, then they could simply cut-and-paste their survey's URL and use it as-is, which would allow them to do all of their work within the standard user interfaces of Survey123 and StoryMaps.

When embedding a Survey123 form in another website, such as a StoryMap, it would be nice if it was possible for the background color of the main page to show through. This would help when one desires a user experience where the survey appears visually well-integrated with the rest of the page content, rather than as something separate and distinct. Perhaps this is achievable by adding an Opacity setting to the rest of the Color options for Content and Web Page in the survey's Appearance? Similar to the existing Opacity setting for the Content Background Color in Appearance. If the page in which you are embedding the survey has a white background, like the default Summit theme of StoryMaps, then you can achieve good visual integration by setting the survey's Web Page Background Color to white too. If you use a different StoryMap theme that has a non-white background color, like Ridgeline or Mesa, then you could also set the survey's Web Page Background Color to match. It would be simpler, however, if you didn't have to worry about exactly matching colors, and could use transparency instead so that it always matched, even if you changed themes.

@OwenGeo I too would like to see native StoryMap support for 360-degree images, if you can get the service to add it. Meanwhile, in case anyone else is interested, I've found a relatively simple solution using three.js (open-source), which is an easy to use, lightweight, cross-browser, general purpose 3D library. Using one of the example viewers included with three.js, examples/webgl_panorama_equirectangular-360.html, you can make a quick 360-degree image viewer. Host the viewer code on your web server, swap in a reference to your own image file, and you are good to go. For some examples and other experiments, see this StoryMap: 360º Images and 3D Models in StoryMaps.

The 3 November 2021 StoryMaps Update added the feature: "When a story is published, its first few paragraphs are added to its ArcGIS item description." An unfortunate side effect of this new functionality is that if a user crafted their own Description prior to 3 November, then it now gets wiped out when they next publish their StoryMap. If they go back and fix their Description, it is overwritten again the next time they publish their story. This loss of content is not a behavior users are expecting, nor does it appear to be desired by any of our users. It seems others are experiencing similar issues with this change as well, such as @JosZwambach1 notes in Description overwritten by storymap. Also, this a behavior that is not shared with other item types in ArcGIS Online, which contributes to the confusion. What is the rationale for StoryMaps overwritten the Description in Item Details, in particular if a user has already provided their own content for it? Is there some benefit this enables that we are overlooking? We would like to have full control over this field returned to the user. Perhaps if there is a good reason to have StoryMaps populate the Description field with a story excerpt, then that could be an option controlled per item by the user, with the default being no overwriting? Or, perhaps the auto-updating during story publication should only happen if a user has not manually modified the Description already?

It looks like this was a feature added during the 3 November 2021 release of StoryMaps. We have some users who are unhappy with this as well in are organization. I expect an enhancement request needs to be made to change this back to how it was before, or to come up with a way to keep StoryMaps from overwriting a Description which has been explicitly entered.

Thanks @RobertScheitlin__GISP . If you are not specifying any Allowed Origins for your ArcGIS Online instance, then it will accept CORS requests from any domain. Our local security guidelines, however, require us to use ArcGIS Online's Allowed Origins settings to lock-down CORS to only permitted domains. So now that localhost is no longer supported as option by ArcGIS Online, it would seem that adding a note to the instructions would hopefully help others running into this issue.

@RobertScheitlin__GISP I think you may be looking at something different than what I am referring to? Are you referring to the specifying the application's Redirect URI, in step #6 of the documentation for Create Client ID using ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise? There are no validation rules on that field that prevent you from using localhost or your device name. What you register as an app's Redirect URI, however, also has to be covered by an Allowed Origin on your ArcGIS Online instance. Otherwise, you will get the CORS error I noted above, in step #8, when you start the Experience Builder server on your local machine. It is the Allowed Origin setting that is the issue. In ArcGIS Online, under Organization --> Settings --> Security --> Allowed origins, you can no longer add a domain that is just a machine name or localhost, such as what the documentation for Experience Builder suggests using, https://localhost:3001.

@RobertScheitlin__GISP Interesting... did you perhaps configure your setup awhile ago? The current version of ArcGIS Online (9.3) no longer allows you to enter an Allowed Origin that only consists of a device name. It has to be a domain name or a fully-qualified machine name. We did have localhost as an Allowed Origin in the past, when it was permitted by ArcGIS Online. It remained in our Allowed Origins list, even after ArcGIS Online changed the rules on what was allowed. After removing it from the list of Allowed Origins, however, the current version of ArcGIS Online no longer allows one to add it back.

@RobertScheitlin__GISP The problem is that ArcGIS Online now expects a domain name for Allowed Origins: "Valid servers must at minimum consist of a domain name. They may also include a protocol (http:// or https://) if you wish to target a specific protocol. Valid servers may also include the port if needed. Servers must also conform to standard naming conventions for domain names." So a Device name will not work either.
