Thanks for the additional information, @Laura. I wouldn't recommend creating 18 different maps since that will not be good for performance, and you won't get smooth transitions between slides since a different map will have to load for each one. That classic story is not filtering features from the layer. There is a separate "outline" layer in the map for each hole that is being toggled on to highlight it (see the map here). That is a technique you could use in ArcGIS StoryMaps if you had a few features to highlight, but I'm not wild about recommending that you add 18 more layers to your map... You could use the Settings > Keep pop-up open toggle to highlight the current hole in each slide. That will add a selection color to the feature outline and show its pop-up. We have considered adding a new toggle to the map configuration settings that would enable you to highlight a feature without showing the pop-up. Would that help in your case? ... View more

@SarahKiefer -- Thanks for sharing your idea. Related to @AaronKoelker's comment, would simply increasing the row limit work for you, or would other changes be needed to obtain the experience you're looking for? I'm wondering if for a table that large you would want the padding to be reduced in each cell to make it more compact? Do you have any screenshots of examples of the larger tables you have added to other stories via image or embedding that you can share so we can get a better idea of your visual expectations? ...

@AstridF - We are not seeing any system-side issues. I just opened and tested several random items from the StoryMaps gallery and they are all behaving normally, so I'm not sure what might be causing the issues you are seeing. Please contact Esri Technical Support and they can help you troubleshoot your individual situation. ... View more

@SaraJL - We are looking into this and will post here when we have more information. ... View more

@XanderTurner - If the SAVE button is not enabled, that means there are one or more layers in your scene that are taking a very long time to load. For some very detailed layers, you may have to wait up to a minute or longer. You can try creating a new scene and adding layers one at a time to isolate which one is taking a long time. If you are not able to determine which layer is causing the issue, please contact Esri Technical Support and they can help you troubleshoot. ... View more

@Laura -- Thanks for sharing this idea and your example! We will monitor this idea to see how many other people would like to see this. Could you share more about why your use case requires turning off features for other holes rather than simply zooming to the extent of a different hole in each slide? Could you also please provide details or an example of how you did this in the classic storytelling templates? ...

@Thomas_Van_Bruggen -- This feature is not available. It is on our radar, and we understand it is a popular request. However, there are some technical challenges that prevent it from being straightforward, and for that reason it hasn't yet been prioritized.

@LucyHall1 -- In general, you can add many maps all throughout a story and things will work fine, but there are a few situations to avoid. The configuration that you are using near the end of your story does overload the web page because it requires so many maps loaded simultaneously. When you have multiple sidecars in a row it results in several sidecars being in, or just outside, the browser's viewport, so they are all loaded by the web browser. Since each of the sidecars starts with a map, at least three maps are being loaded simultaneously, which can start to overload browsers, especially on mobile devices. There are a few things you can consider to help alleviate this situation: Add some lightweight content (text and/or images) between the sidecars. For example, you could move the images in the later sidecar slides out of the sidecars and add them to a gallery between each sidecar. Or maybe there is a way to sprinkle those sidecars throughout earlier sections of the story instead of having them all sequentially in one place? Move the map from the first slide to the last slide of the sidecar. When a sidecar comes into view the first three slides are loaded. Because there are maps in all of the first slides they are loaded immediately. If the maps come later in the sidecar they will only be loaded when the reader clicks through to the slide with the map. This suggestion may not be as effective, because if readers stop browsing through the sidecar on the map slide and go to the next sidecar they may eventually still end up with multiple maps visible at the same time. ...
