Yes, we are looking into this now and the issue definitely appears related to having multiple actions on the same slide. We'll reply again when we have an update. ... View more

@SaraJL - Great - thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. As you mentioned, some of these suggestions are easier to implement than others, but we'll look at these in our next cycle of planning meetings. ... View more

@SaraJL - Thanks for sharing this idea! There did used to be a link to "Manage themes" in the design panel that would open the storymaps.arcgis.com site to the themes page. Since we recently consolidated the individual pages into a unified view of content, there isn't a Themes page to link to anymore, so that was removed. We could look at adding a way to directly create a theme from the design panel. Regarding the idea about creating StoryMap Themes from ArcGIS Online, could you let us know where you would look for this option? We do have some ideas on where we could add some new creation workflows, but we'd like to hear where you would expect to see these appear to make sure we are putting them in a place that makes sense. ...

@SaraJL - I'm sorry you are seeing some unexpected behavior with map actions. Could you please share a little more detail on what you mean by "when I try to save a map view to a button with a Map Action?" What are the steps you are going through and which buttons are you clicking? Are you able to share a link to your story? ... View more

Oh, sorry - I didn't make that connection, but I understand what you are getting at now. Thanks for clarifying. What you are seeing is not expected. We are investigating and will post here again when we have more information. ... View more

@RyanHunter1 - Thanks for posting your question about map tour zoom levels. The initial extent of a map tour always shows all the tour locations. This is not currently configurable, but if you would like to see this added in a future release, I would recommend voting for this idea: Custom Initial Zoom in Map Tour - Esri Community If you configure a custom zoom level in the map options, that zoom level will be used to show individual tour locations when you or your readers begin to interact with the tour (scrolling through a guided tour or clicking on a location for an explorer or categorized tour). I should mention that we are not happy with the labels for the map tour zoom level setting and understand they are not very clear. We are looking to revise them in a future release to be more helpful.   ... View more

@EmileeFreeman -- Yes, this is a new security feature that has been recently added to some browsers. We are working on supporting this in a future update (possibly later this month). ... View more

@dshakya - I'm sorry you are continuing to having trouble with your story. Perhaps there are other factors that we were not able to identify. We will continue to look into the basemap issue we were able to reproduce, but at this point it would be best if you could please contact Esri Support so they can continue to help you investigate what is going on with your specific issues. ...
