@AstridF - Thanks for sharing this feedback. We have considered looking into this, but we do not have custom icon upload on our roadmap at this time. It would be great if you could please add this as an idea on the Ideas Board so others can comment and vote for it if they would also like to see this feature added. We currently use Esri's Calcite icon library and are looking at adding more icons from that in the near future. If there are any icons in either of these lists that would be helpful to you, please let us know and we can look at adding them soon.

@HeatherRoy -- In March 2025, ArcGIS StoryMaps received an upgraded video player that makes it possible to go full screen with map tour videos. You'll just need to update the Playback option to Autoplay with controls (or click to play), which will show video controls that contain a full-screen button that works as you expect. Clicking on the video itself still toggles play/pause for accessibility reasons.    ... View more

@AnninaOberrenner -- You can duplicate StoryMaps, which might help in this case. You could create a story or template with all the parts you need and then duplicate it and remove pieces that are not needed in each case. We are also working on a way to reuse content across StoryMaps that we hope to start rolling out sometime next year. ... View more

@JudithPCC --  Having a layer list panel is on our list, but it hasn't been added to the roadmap at this time.
