@SJ_COV - Oh, I believe you'll need to use the full embed code for web videos from sites like YouTube, Vimeo, etc. This is because of a difference in how embedded content is handled on Enterprise vs. Online. For example, for this video What is ArcGIS?, you'll need to copy the embed code from YouTube by clicking Share and then selecting Embed. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FRcv9xmmojE?si=5iwvCGpRMWBZatZV" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> You can also copy just the URL from the embed code and paste that into the ArcGIS StoryMaps builders: https://www.youtube.com/embed/FRcv9xmmojE?si=5iwvCGpRMWBZatZV We will work on documenting this in the future. ...

@AstridF @JanetBrewster1 - We are looking into it, but there are some additional considerations related to the interactions with the category panel that we need to think through. We can leave this idea open to track this for categorized tour since the idea has only been partially implemented. ... View more

You can now use the layer style saved with a feature layer to symbolize the points in an explorer tour. This can be used with the ability to upload your own symbols in the ArcGIS map viewer. For more information, see What's new in ArcGIS StoryMaps (February 2026).     ... View more

Hi @BeccaBoyd - Thanks for posting your questions: 1) PDFs hosted on the web must have the correct security headers in order to be embedded in a StoryMap. You can find the details of what is required here: Frequently asked questions | ArcGIS StoryMaps Help. If you need a quick solution you can upload the PDF as an item in your ArcGIS content, share it publicly, copy the URL from the right sidebar on the item page, and use that to embed the PDF in your story. 2) As you navigate through a sidecar, the content for each slide scrolls into the same area as the previous slide, so you aren't able change the size or position of individual slides. If you want a different panel size for consecutive slides, you can try breaking the sidecar up into multiple, consecutive sidecar blocks, each with a different panel size. The easiest way to do this is to duplicate the sidecar and then remove the slides you don't need in each one. ... View more

@SJ_COV > My guess is that this has something to do with the StoryMap being set up in Portal Correct! I think the information below should be helpful... > It seems like there are several differences including fewer Cover layouts and less Media options. ArcGIS Enterprise is a software product that is installed and maintained by your organization's IT department, so it's important to understand which version you are using to know which features may or may not be available. You can review the major differences in each version of ArcGIS StoryMaps using these documentation topics: ArcGIS StoryMaps on ArcGIS Enterprise feature comparison | ArcGIS StoryMaps Help What's new in ArcGIS StoryMaps on ArcGIS Enterprise | ArcGIS StoryMaps Help > when I check the Video media option, there is no option to post a Link like there is in AGOL. The ability to use linked media in ArcGIS StoryMaps on ArcGIS Enterprise must be enabled by your enterprise portal administrator.

@TerezieVaňková - We took a look, but it's not immediately apparent what's going on and we can't reproduce this issue with other stories. Please contact Esri Technical Support and they can help you troubleshoot further. ... View more

Charts are still relatively new, so they remain focused on simple scenarios and small datasets. But we are looking at ways to expand this feature in the future, which may include bringing in charts you've already created in the map viewer (be sure to vote for this idea if you're interested in that) or possibly creating new charts in the story builder from feature layers. ...

@PK6 - Thanks for explaining more about this situation. We are not aware of any violation related to the skip to content button. In fact, it's there to comply with criteria 2.4.1 so readers can skip over the header and jump right to the story content. Is there any more specific information you can provide about how your webmaster believes that criteria is not being met? I've connected with you on the community so you can direct message me with additional information. ... View more
