@LindseyMcGrath - There is guidance and several examples of how to use advanced embedding in our developer samples repo on GitHub: storymaps-developer-samples/embed/README.md at main · Esri/storymaps-developer-samples (UPDATE: link fixed). Please check that out and let us know if you have additional questions!

@HeatherSummer - Glad to hear you are experimenting with categorized map tours! That is not currently a capability. If you are interested in seeing something like that, I would recommend that you please make a post on the ideas board with some detail describing what you are looking for and how that would work so it can be considered for a future update. We do have a bunch more enhancements coming to map tours in a couple of weeks, so keep an eye on the ArcGIS blog for announcements.

We are going to close this idea as implemented. The new advanced embedding capability can be used to address all of the header customizations mentioned in the post above and much more. If you still have a strong need for any of these features to be provided in the StoryMap builders, please create new, individual ideas for each request (following the ArcGIS Ideas Submission Guidelines and Statuses). For information about advanced embedding, see the following resources: Introducing Story Embeds via Script! What's new in ArcGIS StoryMaps (February 2025) Esri/storymaps-developer-samples

@LindseyMcGrath -- Advanced embedding is an entirely different way to embed StoryMaps compared to embedding in an iframe. It's much more powerful and flexible and doesn't confine the StoryMap to a separately scrolling frame on your page, so I believe you would find it would look and behave much better on small screens. Here's an example of a page that uses advanced embedding that looks great on mobile: ASCE's 2025 Infrastructure Report Card

@SarahPearce - I wonder if the slight lagginess you are seeing could be from the polygon layer. If that is a very detailed layer, you might want to try generalizing it to remove some of the detail to see if that helps.

@Amarz - I'm sorry you are seeing an issue with images not loading. Since this is an issue on your Enterprise portal, I would recommend that you work to resolve it by contacting Esri Support.

@EdmondChan_VK -- There are some capabilities of web pages that are restricted when the page is embedded into another site. In this case, the Hub site is being asked to copy text from the embedded StoryMap, but that is not permitted. In some cases, it is possible for websites to allow these capabilities, but there are often very good web security reasons for why they are blocked. You could submit a bug report to via Esri Support to see if it would be possible to lift this restriction.

@Anne_Tetley - When you print to PDF, your web browser typically has an option for this in the print screen. For example, in Chrome/Edge it's called "Headers and footers."

@RobbynAbbitt - Yes, that is possible. Please check out this blog for more information and ideas. Add another dimension to your stories with heading links If you plan on placing QR codes in the real world (park sign, printed brochure/flyer, etc.) I would recommend that you create a redirectable link for each of the StoryMap links and use that to generate QR codes in case you need to repoint to a different StoryMap or other resource in the future.
