Hi Jerry and Lisha The Side Accordion layout is actually now available as a hosted application template in ArcGIS Online, so unlike the Shortlist you don't need to download the app and host it yourself. See the Story Map Series application template: Story Map Series | Story Maps which has three layout options: Side Accordion, Tabbed and Bulleted. This new app has an interactive builder and is fully hosted in ArcGIS Online. Rupert ... View more

Another solution I'd like to suggest: use the new Story Map Series app ( Story Map Series | Story Maps ) to create a series of maps each of which shows a specific set of layers that your audience will want to see. It's a really cool app because it offers three layouts (tabbed, bulleted and side accordion) and if you want you can populate the whole series using a single map (you as the author choose which layers are shown from that map in which tab, bullet or accordion section) - you don't have to create multiple maps but of course you can. Check out this ace example by Kentucky Commonwealth to see what I mean: http://kygeonet.ky.gov/StoryMaps/KyRecreationalResources/ Instead of a single old school Table Of Contents checkable layer list, which aren't usually very easy for the general public to understand, the story map presents 4 maps, each of which has a particular set of layers turned on. So stuff is pre-authored for the end-user. More sophisticated controls can be added on via JavaScript customization though. For example have a look at the Filters in this customized map tour: Marine Important Bird Areas of Alaska ... View more

Which Story Map application are you interested in using? There are several to choose from: Apps | Story Maps and we'd need to know which one you want to use in order to answer. For example if you are interested in the Story Map Journal app ( Story Map Journal | Story Maps  ) you can define clickable 'actions' in the text at the side of the map that turn specific layers on and off in the map: that might match what you want and it is built-in to the Map Journal so there's no coding to do. For example this map journal uses those actions so the end-user can see click to see different time periods: The Age of Megacities represented by different layers. In general we have not provided that layer on/off capability in the legend controls in the Story Map application layouts by default because the story map layouts aim to have very minimal GIS-type user controls and present self-contained maps to the user.
