@NasratullahOmari - Thanks for posting this idea. We are looking into this and would love to hear more about how you'd use this and your expectations. Would the logo you want on the slides be the same as the one you have in your header/cover or a different one? Do you always want the logo in the same place in all your briefings or does that vary? Should the logo be clickable and point to a website (like the logo in the header), would you expect it to require alternative text, or is it just decorative/visual? Our current thinking is that providing a way to add a background image for all your slides would enable you to place a logo (and other graphics/textures) anywhere you like, which might be preferable and more flexible, but we'd like to hear what you and others think. ...

@TylerHudson_Whitestown - It's great to hear that you are utilizing map tours to engage the public, and thank you for sharing this feedback!  I hope you'll be happy to know that with a little data manipulation you can already accomplish the result you are after. I've shared a link to an existing idea for this same enhancement that has more information about how to do this.

This can be achieved today with a little data manipulation. You can create a new field in your feature layer that combines information from several fields into a single field. Then, that new field can be set as the description field in the map tour so all the information you want is shown. This workflow is very powerful and allows you to format the description field with multiple paragraphs, lists, links, and more. You can create this new field using the field calculator on the ArcGIS feature layer item page or manipulate the data in your favorite spreadsheet app, like Excel or Google Sheets, and upload the CSV as a new feature layer.

The spacing between bullet items was increased in an update that was deployed yesterday. This should improve the readability of lists in StoryMaps. For anyone looking for more control over the styles of text or other elements in a StoryMap you can check out advanced embedding, which gives you complete control over the styling of your StoryMap when you embed it in your own web page.

@K_Jueckstock -- Oh, I forgot to mention that for question 1 you can select a field to your feature layer that has the order you want the places to appear as the Sort by field in the data source configuration panel. For example, you could sort them alphabetically by place name. If none of the existing fields has the order you want, you can add a new integer field to the feature layer and populate it with numbers that specify the order you want.   ... View more

@K_Jueckstock Thanks for sharing your feedback about categorized tours! 1. Currently, categorized tours are available via the data-driven workflow (created from a feature layer), which does not have a way to reorder the points in the builder. If possible, you could recreate your feature layer from a spreadsheet in the order you wish the points to appear. Out of curiosity, do you expect the amount of tour locations to be changing after you create your tour, or will the list be set once you create your tour? 2. Can you share a GIF or video of what you are seeing? The navigation arrow does move out of view after you scroll past the entire tour and move on to the next part of the story. We'd be interested to see the situation you are experiencing to make sure it's not a bug. 3. We're looking into adding the ability to change the icon color. Could you share whether you just don't like the automatic white or black choice and would pick the other or whether you want to use other colors for the icons? 4. As @ZachMadden noted above, that feature is not available at this time. We recommend setting the Initial zoom level in the map settings to a scale that's zoomed out enough to see what's important for all locations. It would be helpful if you could please add these as individual requests to the Ideas board (or vote for existing ideas) so others can weigh in and upvote them. We use the information there to help us prioritize future updates and enhancements. ... View more
