@KatarinaMalmgren - A web page has no way to change content inside an iframe that is coming from a different domain due to standard web security protocols. I believe what they are suggesting is to integrate their tool separately for any content that you plan to embed in your site. This may be possible using the new advanced embedding feature if you either: 1) embed the StoryMap directly your page using a <script> tag rather than an <iframe>, or 2) host a separate web page where you embed the StoryMap via a <script> tag and add the translation tool code and then embed that new page in your current page via iframe. I would recommend trying option 1 first. You can learn more about advanced embedding by visiting the links below: Introducing Story Embeds via Script! and storymaps-developer-samples/storymaps-script-embed-samples at main · Esri/storymaps-developer-samples

@AlenHadzovic - Are you referring to headings in sidecar slides or map tour slides? You can already add headings to any sidecar slide and those headings can be added to the story navigation bar. The ability to include map tour place titles/headings in the navbar, however, is not currently available. If you would like to see this, I would encourage you to vote for this idea and share any additional use cases you have for this feature so we can consider it for the future.

@SarahRijneke - > I would like this functionality to be available using a map that I already have created on ArcGIS Online Map choreography with smooth transitions between locations is available for ArcGIS Online web maps. You can see many examples of this in this gallery such as Infrastructure is everywhere or Bog Wild. > If I use an express map, all of my layers are removed. I need them to be visible in the map as it pans and zooms around the map. To use the same express map across multiple slides, simply duplicate the slide with the express map and then edit the duplicate slide to reconfigure its view.

@SarahRijneke - I believe what you are asking for is already available. We usually call it map choreography, and it can also be accomplished using a sidecar. Please read this article and let us know if this is what you are looking to do. Choreograph your maps with ArcGIS StoryMaps

@MayraHernandez -- It looks like you are using curly quotes inside your <a> tag. Be sure to always use straight quotes inside your HTML. It also looks like there is an error in your screenshot where you have a partial <p> tag. Hopefully addressing those items will get this to work as you expect.

@DARRYLBEER - At this time, we are not considering adding an outline around all text blocks. However, we will monitor this idea for additional feedback or use cases where this would be helpful. We are also looking into providing a way to easily delete entire text blocks while hovering over them, which may address the issue you mentioned in a different way.

@JB3T - To have additional layers in a map tour, you can update the basemap of your map tour to another web map that contains the layers you need. Click Edit (pencil icon) on the map tour map, then click the tile under Choose basemap, and then Browse more maps. From there you can select the web map that has the layers you want to show in your map tour.

@JanetBrewster1 - Sorry for the difficulty. The sharing of the great places shortlist layer has been updated to make it available again. I believe that is the currently expected behavior of the field calculator. If you'd like to suggest that your previous Arcade expression is saved, please submit that as an idea on the ArcGIS Online Ideas Board.
