Hi Sarah, You should be able to use a service from a GIS server in the same way as you'd use a service coming from ArcGIS Online. My suspicion is that you are running into a web security situation known as having mixed content. Essentially, your story map can't access HTTP content if you are accessing your story map app over HTTPS. Can you try adding the service to your web map using an https URL? If that doesn't work, are you able to share a link to your story here (or just with me in a private GeoNet message) so I can take a look? Owen ... View more

Hi Kate, You should be able to do this using the ArcGIS Online Assistant. Obviously, be very careful when editing the JSON. Sign in using your ArcGIS Online account. Find your story the left column. In the header choose I want to > View an item's JSON Click your story to view the JSON. In the right panel, scroll down to the Data section. I recommend COPYING the JSON before you edit, just in case something goes wrong. There's a button to do this. Click Edit (the pencil icon) to edit the JSON. Do a find and replace on your server name. Slick the Save icon to save changes. Load your story in another tab to see your updated story. The Admin tools from GeoJobe may do this as well. Owen ... View more

Hi Casey, Ok, gotcha. Unfortunately, Cascade doesn't support lists or tables at this time, but we are considering adding them in a future release. If you have structured text you want to include in your story your options at this time are to either 1) create and host a webpage with your information and add that to a sequential section by inserting Media using the "Link to Content" option, or 2) enter and format your information in a word processing app like MS Word, take a screenshot, and add that image to your Cascade story. It may help to work with your graphics department or someone with some design skills to create a table or infographic style display for your information. Owen ... View more

Hi Scott, Not at this time. We think covers work best as looping videos that give the audience a sense of your story rather than an "introduction" that has a beginning and an end; however, we have heard this request from a few other people, so we are considering adding it in a future release. If you have a video that you want your audience to watch in its entirety as an introduction to your story, I'd recommend adding it as an in-line video in the first sequential section of your story or possibly to an immersive section that immediately follows your cover. You'd then use an image (or other looping video) for your cover. Owen ... View more

Hi Jacob, Cascade doesn't support font size changes to immersive section titles at this time. While there aren't controls to select a specific font size for the narrative panel text, you can increase it to a larger size by clicking the formatting button to the left of the first line in the panel and choosing H2. Hope this is helpful. Owen ... View more

Hi Joshua, For technical reasons, the ability to use custom HTML is available only in Map Journal. The EPA story is a Map Series with Map Journals (each with a single section) embedded in several of the tabs. They customized Map Journal to hide the header bar and hosted their modified version on their servers. For example, here is one of the Journals: https://geopub.epa.gov/CREAT1/index.html?appid=f629f537c1bc4b529e4f0487677930fe  Owen ... View more
