@xingchenc - There is a bug in some versions of ArcGIS Enterprise that prevents the Allow duplication option from appearing. This bug is fixed in the upcoming 12.1 release in a few weeks. ... View more

@Crystal_Cowardin - It looks like there is an issue with alternative text not being applied to images in a map tour. We will look into this and report back when we have more information. I apologize that this is affecting your story. ... View more

@PeterKnoop @SaraJL - Ok, sounds like things are working as expected (and your custom roles are not affecting the appearance of these messages). 👍 Yes, this message always behaved as described above. BOTH authors need to make a change from the same saved state. When this happens, the second author that makes a change will see the message. ArcGIS StoryMaps was released in 2018, and this message was added after that (in 2019 or early 2020) based on feedback. I'm not sure blocking an author from opening the builder is desirable, but we'd like to hear more about how you'd like that to work. How much time should the lock to be in effect after an author makes their last change?  In an upcoming release, we are planning to make the "Overwrite" button red to further discourage people from choosing that option. ...

@SaraJL -- Sorry, nevermind. I see the bug number in your screenshot and can use that to look into this. ... View more

@SaraJL - Sorry for the confusion on the support side. Can you please share the incident number so I can look into things on that end? @PeterKnoop - Can you specify which admin privilege(s) you're referring to? See Privileges granted to roles—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation  Could either/both of you share a short video of the issue? ... View more

@SaraJL @PeterKnoop -- We just did some testing and the message appears to be working as expected for us in ArcGIS Online for non-administrators. The message was updated slightly since the screenshot posted above. This is what I am seeing (and it is the expected result): Authors A and B open an item in builder from the same saved state Author A makes a change (autosave is triggered) Author B makes a change (autosave is triggered) "Someone else is editing..." message appears for Author B This message appears for an author who attempts to make a change after another author tries to make a change from the same saved state. The message would not appear in this case... Author A opens an item in builder Author A makes a change (autosave is triggered) Author B opens the same item in builder (after Author A's change was saved) Author B makes a change (autosave is triggered) [No message is shown at this point] Since B opened the item after A's change, B would see A's change and would be editing the item from that new state. If the authors both edit the item from this point, the message would appear as it did in the first case, above. Please do submit a support ticket with more details if you are not seeing the behavior described above. If there are other issues you see or if you have more questions about this workflow it might be best to create a new thread in the questions board.   ... View more

@BenjaminMittler - Thanks for sharing this idea. Adding a way to easily flip on slide numbers across the entire briefing is definitely something that has come up in our internal discussions. We can see how it would be useful and will look into this more. It's a bit of work, but for now you could go into the slide options and update the display title for each slide (or maybe just section title slides?) to include numbers. Then, when people viewing your briefing open the TOC, they would see slide numbers for reference.           ... View more

@StephenF1 - I'm sorry you are unable to change the basemap in your map tour. It sounds like you are creating a data driven tour with the feature layer you mentioned, is that right? If so, changing the basemap to one in a different projection is not currently supported for tours using a feature layer. You can only use a basemap in another projection for a tour created from scratch before you add any points. However, this is an enhancement that we are looking into adding in the future, but we do not have a timeline for when it might be available. If you are interested in this, please vote for this idea. ... View more

Great! Glad that worked for you. ... View more

@davidchamberlain2 -- Thanks for the images. It looks like you have several layers bundled together in a group layer. The ArcGIS StoryMaps builders enable you to set the visibility only of the top level of layers. If you reorganize your web map to remove the group layer, you will see all the individual layers when configuring it in the story builder. To do this, just drag the layers up and out of the group layer, save the web map, then re-add it to the story and you will be able to set the visibility of each layer. ... View more

@davidchamberlain2 - I'm sorry you are not seeing that you expect. Are you able to share a screenshot of your web map as it appears in the ArcGIS Online map viewer and also one of what you are seeing in the story builder so we can get a better idea of what might be going on? ... View more
