Hi Annette -- You can't add a background image, but you can change the colors. This option isn't available within the builder, but here's an article about how to do it if you are interested. ... View more

Hi Stephen -- The large infographic-style numbers in that story are images created in a graphics program and then uploaded into the story. There's currently no way to adjust the text size beyond changing to heading style from the paragraph formatting menu.  ... View more

Hi -- We're glad your project using Story Map Crowdsource was successful. We understand there were people that used this app and found it valuable, but given our limited development resources we were unfortunately no longer able to maintain Story Map Crowdsource as a stand-alone app. We do plan to bring crowdsourcing back into our story map offerings, but since this app did not get anywhere close to the usage of our other storytelling apps it is not our top priority at the moment nor have we set a timeline for when we would work on this.  There is a possibility that future browser updates will introduce issues with creating or viewing Crowdsource stories. We believe the chances of this are low and the app should continue to work as it does today for several years, but of course this is impossible to predict. You could re-evaluate the app next summer to see if it is still working well at that time. ... View more

You can override the line spacing in Journal by adding some CSS to the source view (see here for help on how to do this). The line spacing of Journal's home (1st) section is different that the rest of the sections. Below is some CSS that targets some display attributes of the home section text; just remove .section:first-child if you want CSS that applies to sections other than the home section. For side panel layout .sidePanel .section:first-child {   margin-top: -8px;   margin-bottom: 20px; } .sidePanel .section:first-child .title {   font-size: 2.3em; /* usually 1.5em */   padding: 10px 0; /* usually 0? */   line-height: 1.3em; /* usually 1.5em */   font-weight: normal; } .sidePanel .section:first-child .content {   font-size: 20px; /* usually 16px */   min-height: 150px; }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍   For floating panel layout .floatingPanel .section:first-child .title {   margin-top: 25%;   margin-bottom: calc(10% - 30px);   font-size: 2.3em; /* usually 1.85em */   line-height: 1.3em; /* usually 1.5em */ } .floatingPanel .section:first-child .content {   font-size: 20px; /* usually 16px */ }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Hi Nadia -- Sorry you are having trouble adding your image to a story. Can you try again? It appears to be working for me. Perhaps there was a temporary glitch with your web server? I've added to the cover and to the story in the screenshot below. ... View more

Mele -- there isn't a way to configure that type of behavior in the Map Journal Builder, but you can try this via customization. What you want to do seems close to what's described in this article. ... View more

Eric -- Yes, I'm sorry, but I'm not sure why it's showing in your app. We're looking into it further. In the meantime, if you want to manually hide the embed bar you can add the URL parameter &classicembedmode to the end of the URL. Also, as noted in this article, &embed doesn't have any effect in Map Journal, so you can remove that URL parameter from your embedded story. ... View more

Hi Johana -- While there's no way to host a video in ArcGIS and tie the permissions to a portal account, you can host videos on your own network on a web server and add them to your story map. As long as the videos are inside your firewall, network no one else can see them. You just need to set up a simple web page with a video player. Here's an article that shows one way to do it. ...
