@SaraJL - The Crowdsource Story Map template was only ever a beta/experimental template and was deprecated in 2018. It hasn't been updated in many years, so I don't believe the builder is likely to work any more. ... View more

I believe what you are asking for is already possible. We call it map choreography and it is a very popular technique storytellers use when creating StoryMaps. You don't need to choose a transition, rather you use the same map across slides and set a different map view in each slide. When navigating through the sidecar the map smoothly moves to each new view. Take a look at this article and let me know if this is what you are looking to do. It has details about how to use map choreography in your stories and links to several example stories that use this technique.

@RussGreen -- A few more questions that will hopefully help us to get to the bottom of this... What is your user name? Did you establish this free ArcGIS account account by migrating an account from StoryMaps.com? If you go to arcgis.com and sign in with your free account, what URL do you see in the browser address bar? Is it www.arcgis.com or something else like myorganization.maps.arcgis.com? ... View more

I appreciate others jumping in to help, but unfortunately some incorrect information has been posted above. Publishing StoryMaps and sharing them with everyone is supported by all types of ArcGIS accounts, including public accounts. In some cases, a subscription account may not have this permission if an organization's administrator has placed limits on who can share items. @RussGreen could you clarify what you mean by an "individual account?" Do you have an ArcGIS Personal Use account ($100/yr) or a free ArcGIS public account? Either way, you should be able to publish and share with everyone. Are you able to share the StoryMap item with everyone from your ArcGIS Content page? If so can you do that and share a link to the story here so we can take a look and try to troubleshoot? ...

@RobertVassallo - Thanks for providing feedback about the map tour. You are correct that the map in a map tour is not expandable on a mobile device. This is meant to simplify the experience for readers and balance the limited space on a phone between the map and the media and description for each place.  A few suggestion are 1) if you can do without the navigation bar turning that off will provide more room for the map on small screens, and 2) you could use a sidecar to build a tour-like experience, which does allow the map to be expanded on small screens. For this option you'd have to build the web map of tour places your self. You can read more about that here Exploring six options for presenting tours in ArcGIS StoryMaps. ... View more

@AmyNewsam - I'm not seeing an issues with this feature on my end. Could you share a screenshot of what you are seeing or a link to your story (if it's shared publicly) so we can investigate? Edit map view will only appear if you have a web map or express map already added in the media panel. If it's any other type of content (like an App, image, etc.) you will only see the other options under Show a different piece of content. Let us know if this info helps.   ... View more
