Hi Sarah, You can already use images stored in Google Photos in your story maps. Check out this blog: What story map authors need to know about the transition from Picasa to Google Photos | ArcGIS Blog Owen ... View more

Hi Katy, Thanks for submitting feedback on Cascade. We have not added a legend feature yet but have it on our list to add in a future release. When creating story maps, we do recommend trying to use very simple maps that don't require a legend or that can be easily explained in the story narrative; however, we of course realize that is not always possible. For now, the best option is to either take a screenshot of the legend in the map viewer or create your own graphic and add that as an image to your story. This can be done as an in-line image in a sequential section or in the immersive panel if the map is in an immersive section. Owen ... View more

Hi Vojtěch, I was able to create a Cascade story (here) using that service, so I believe you are correct in that you are encountering an issue with HTTP/HTTPS. Standard web security dictates that if a web page or app is accessed over HTTPS, then all other content on that page must also be accessed over HTTPS. This is often referred to as "mixed content" and you can read more about it here. It looks like the GIS server where that imagery service is hosted is not configured with a security certificate, so it does not support HTTPS. I'm not sure if that is your server or if it is administered by another organization, but one way to solve your issue is to configure the GIS server for HTTPS (this is a best practice anyway). Another thing you can try is to access your story map over HTTP -- you can try just changing the URL in your browser's address bar to http://[your app URL]. This will only work if your ArcGIS Online organization is not configured to require HTTPS in the organization security settings. See the troubleshooting tips in this blog for more information.

Hi Mary, You can do that, but you'd need to download the code, make a small customization to it, and host your copy of the app on your own web server. The customization is described here: GitHub - Esri/map-series-storytelling-template-js: The Story Map Series lets you present a series of maps via tabs, numb… Owen ... View more

Hi Shruthi, Sorry, that error indicates that the Facebook website doesn't allow embedding. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about that in builder. If you are a registered Facebook developer you can use their developer tools, for example embedded posts or the page plugin, to embed specific pieces of Facebook content in your story.

Hi Erica, Sure, you can do that. I would recommend that you have a large amount of space available to provide a good experience. If you don't then it may be best to have a screenshot in your page that has a link that opens the full-sized story in a new browser tab. Also keep in mind if you do embed the live story that your main web page should be responsively designed because simply shrinking a page with an embedded story map will not provide a great experience as-is when viewed on a mobile device. Here's an example of an embedded Cascade on the Bureau of Land Management's tubmlr feed: My Public Lands Summer Roadtrip 2016 Owen ... View more

Hi Jessica, Thank you for taking the time to report this. We are aware of this issue, and it will be fixed in the next release in September. How has your experience been with Cascade otherwise? Owen ... View more

Hi Doris, Sorry, that's not available at the moment, but thanks for your suggestion! I've recorded your request in our system to track for future consideration. Could you please provide a few examples of the types of Crowdsource stories you'd publish to help us understand how you'd use this feature? Owen ... View more
