@ColinBergmann_ct - Thank you for the helpful story that shows and explains the issue. We will look into this and post back here when we have more information. ... View more

Yep, @JonM32 is correct. The attribution bubbles only persist if you click the (i) icon. If you do that, you can then click any links that are inside them. ... View more

@Sarah_Willett -- I'm sorry your colleague is experiencing this issue. I would have them contact Esri Support for the best and most effective troubleshooting for an issue like this. If you are at the conference this week, there is a technical support island in the Expo where you can get help. ... View more

Thank you for the feedback about marking this idea as implemented. We do understand everyone's needs have not yet been met and want to reassure you that closing this idea was not an attempt to say we are done working in this area. Our intent in closing it is 1) to educate people on this thread that much progress has been made in the area of taking StoryMaps content offline, and 2) to ensure that moving forward we collect the latest and best information about what the community is still looking for in ArcGIS StoryMaps. This thread was started in 2017, which was several years before ArcGIS StoryMaps was even released (the original request was for classic Esri Story Maps such as journal, cascade, etc.). Most of the comments posted after ArcGIS StoryMaps became available were posted before briefings or other types of StoryMaps (beyond "stories") were available. Many things have changed over the nine years this thread has been active. Additionally, many of the comments in this thread are asking for very different things, so for us to know what to focus on it's critical to understand the community's current needs and to be able to isolate the support for different use cases. The use cases mentioned in this thread that I anticipate are at least partially addressed with the current functionality include: The museum that wants to provide tablets to visitors with info about historic sites The land conservation trust and the nature preserve taking maps and information into the field Several emergency management use cases (many emergency management, disaster response, public safety, and law enforcement organizations had been asking for a way to create slide-based content and this was one of the main drivers behind why briefings were developed) Providing content on airplanes for VIPs (executives typically prefer slide-based content to scrolling article formats) Most of the early messages on this thread focus on these field operations or low-connectivity situations, and those are the the use cases that are addressed with the current offline briefings feature. However, many of the more recent comments have transitioned to more of an "archiving" use case in academia, which is a completely different workflow that would be addressed by a different set of features. I don't mean to make extra work for others, so I'm happy to create a few new ideas for people to vote for and link back to messages on this thread. Closing this idea as implemented does not mean the thoughts and messages that are already here will be lost or ignored. It just means we are redirecting where future votes and comments should go. Here are the additional ideas I think I am seeing: Provide an offline capability for StoryMap stories (similar to the existing capability for StoryMap briefings). This is also a field operations or low-connectivity use case. Provide a way to "package" a StoryMap in a file-based format for archival purposes such that it can be viewed without any connection to the web. This could be for any type of StoryMap—including a story, briefing, frame, or collection—but it would be good to know which is/are the most important. Please let me know if these capture the aspects of the other requests on this thread, and I can create these ideas so others can comment on them and upvote them. This will help us accurately track the support for each so we can better plan and prioritize the work required to implement these features. ... View more

In the last few years, ArcGIS StoryMaps has added offline capabilities... Using ArcGIS StoryMaps, you can now create slide-based presentations called briefings. Readers can view briefings with the ArcGIS StoryMaps Briefings app. If the author configures a briefing for offline use, readers can view it with the app even while disconnected. The briefings app is available for iOS/iPadOS, Android, and Windows. For more information about this capability, see the resources at the link below: Get started with briefings in ArcGIS StoryMaps We are going to close this idea as implemented given the availability of the current offline capabilities as they meet many of the needs mentioned here. However, there were lots of different ideas and requests in this thread, and we realize the current capabilities do not address all of them. If there are additional capabilities or use cases that you would still like to see related to offline capabilities in ArcGIS StoryMaps, please submit those as additional ideas so they can be evaluated for future consideration. ...

@ColinBergmann_ct -- Thanks for reporting the issue you are seeing. I just did some quick tests with the web experience in this blog post, and the parameter that changes feature selection appeared to be applied as expected across sidecar slides. Could you provide links to your story and web experience with the parameters you are using so we can take a look? If you are not able to share your app with everyone, please contact Esri Technical Support and they will be able to help. ... View more

@SnappedToGrid - I apologize you are seeing issues with charts in your StoryMaps. We aren't tracking any specific issues with charts at the moment, so I'm not sure what to recommend without seeing your StoryMap. If the StoryMap is shared publicly, can you share the link here? If that is not feasible, please contact Esri Technical Support and they will be able to assist you. ... View more

@WassonSU -- I'm sorry your colleague is having some issues with navigation. I don't see story navigation enabled in that story you linked to, so unfortunately we aren't able to test and see what you are describing. Is the change to enable it perhaps an unpublished change? If so, can you ask the author to republish? Or, could they duplicate the story, enable navigation on the copy, and then publish that one? If neither of those are possible, I would suggest having the author contact Esri Technical Support and they will be able to help. ... View more

Great! Glad to hear that will work for you. Let us know if you have any more questions. ... View more

@BenjaminMittler Great, thanks for your reply. This is exactly what we were wondering. Our thought is that if we simply always add slide numbers to the briefing print layout that should address this situation in a simple way without adding more visible elements on the slide in presentation view or another author control. Would that meet your needs? ... View more
