Hi Regina, sorry about the issue. I'm not sure specifically why that would happen. Perhaps try saving your story, closing the builder and your browser, and then reopening it to start a new authoring session. If this issue happens a lot and is preventing you from finishing your story, I'd recommend contacting technical support to see if they can walk through what might be happening. Rupert

Hi Naomi Thanks for raising this. Unfortunately this combination doesn't work seamlessly. Story Map Shortlist only treats image attachments as images if there are attributes field in the layer that contain the full URLs to the images so they can be accessed via URLs, one for the thumbnail and one for the larger size image. These fields are not present in the data generated by Survey 123 or Collector, so Shortlist can't display that data directly. Another issue with using this data in Story Maps is that the images aren't optimized for fast display. In general then we'd recommend an intermediate step if using Survey 123 or Collector images in Story Maps where you assemble the images you want to include as image files and then upload them manually into the Story Map Builder.

In a Story Map Tour, you have to use HTML tags to specify formatting other than a single block of text. In this particular Story Map app, it doesn't accept returns when you enter text for the caption. Formatting is possible but only by adding HTML tags into your caption Rupert

Hi Anne, just wanted to check, your post mentions about Story Map Journal but the screenshot above is from Story Map Series. There is an issue with extents in Story Map Journal that occurs sometimes: it seems to happen if the first web map you add into your Journal is not in the home (first) section, and if you let the extent default to the extent stored in the web map. When viewing that Journal, going back to that map from a Story Action or from the proceeding sections sometimes doesn't go to the extent you expected. Because of this, for the first web map I add into a Map Journal, I always use the Custom Configuration option for the Location and manually specify the extent I want to use, even if that extent is the same as the map's default extent.

Hi Chris This isn't possible with apps embedded in Story Maps. We'd recommend using standard web maps instead of embedded apps to get this sort of experience. For example in a Story Map Series, you can show different maps in different tabs (or the same map with different layers turned on in different tabs) and then if your reader chooses a particular place or location, that extent is automatically carried over to those other tabs. We have got this on our list though for a possible future enhancement because embedding apps inside Story Maps, especially Story Map Series is becoming a popular way to present a set of apps in an easy to use 'binder'. There could be ways to carry the reader's chosen location from app to app. But we do feel that if you can do this simply with web maps instead of apps, it is a clean, easy to understand experience for readers, especially the sort of non-technical non-GIS audience a lot of publicly shared stories are aimed at.

I've not seen that done from a web page like you describe. Another approach would be to divide a large Story Map Journal up into separate stories and create a standard web page provides links to each Map Journal. For example, see: People for Bikes: How it got Built https://peopleforbikes.org/how-it-got-built/ Or you could use an ArcGIS Online Gallery app to present a set of Map Journals, like: https://usfs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/PublicGallery/index.html?appid=bb59566ba3574c92aa04038aed91276b Rupert

Hi Anne We don't support this in the Story Map apps in so far as letting the reader's choice of layers carry over into another section or tab. Story Maps are rather more canned than a classic GIS app in that there's no clickable Table of Contents that lets the reader adjust the map's content. Instead we rely on the storyteller assembling the maps that support the story, so the reader doesn't have to actively tailor the map. This helps keep the Story Map app user experiences hopefully fairly simple for readers. Having said that, you can use Story Actions to provide your readers with links in the narrative that turn particular layers on or off. This is simpler than a Table of Contents and fits into your narrative more seamlessly but doesn't provide the same full functionality. And like you say, the on/off state resulting from Story Action use doesn't get carried over into other sections or tabs in your Map Journal or Map Series. Here are some examples of Story Actions used to turn layers on or off https://grid-arendal.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=d7535d5a27ad40a0a96d606336d4e990§ion=2 https://edinuniv.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=74d00c093811481cab1abdcc365402b1§ion=7 Some authors create buttons for their Story Actions (find out how) too and present a set of layer options that approximates a clickable Table of Contents: https://epa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=3805293158d54846a29f750d63c6890e&entry=4 https://icfgeospatial.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=b966362158cc452197d896265109a698§ion=3 (which is one part of this larger story: https://icfgeospatial.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=58f90c5a5b5f4f94aaff93211c45e4ec ) Hope that helps Rupert

Hi Paul, I think that is a good approach, especially as it avoids the issue you were running into. The original issue may be related to whether your story map uses HTTPS or HTTP. If it uses HTTPS, then embedded content, like other story maps, are expected to use HTTPS too, and content that is not HTTPS may not be drawn. This is one reason you may be seeing access issues in the content in your embedded Story Map Basic that you don't see when it is viewed standalone. Rupert

Could you check if they get the same issue if they open your Story Map Basic app when they just open it. not embedded inside a Story Map Journal? I suspect this may be an issue with the sharing status of the content in that Basic story, or the story itself, rather than related to it being embedded in a Story Map. It sounds like it isn't all accessible publicly (and so is requiring a sign-in). I think a better solution for what you are doing would be to simply add another section into your Map Journal that displays the web map, with the legend turned on, instead of trying to display it inside another Story Map via a Story Action. I think it's a simpler solution that would be easier for your readers to use. I feel that Story Actions that display a completely different web app can be a bit disorienting for readers. Rupert

Hi Paul A couple of things here. Which Story Map app template are you using? What exactly are you embedding into the main stage that gets displayed when the Story Action is invoked? If it is a public web page, could you post the URL here. If you are just embedding a generic web page there's no need to include the &embed parameter in the URL. That parameter only applies when to certain Story Map apps when you embed them in websites or other Story Maps if you want their header to be hidden. Do people also have the same issue when they view that content outside of the Story Map you are embedding it into? Rupert

Hi Mia Regarding attribution for Story Map authorship, we treat that as part of the editorial and branding of the story. So for example in the header of Story Maps a logo can be included, and authors can optionally include text in their content with additional authorship info or credits. The Story Map Cascade app template has a formal Credits section at the end too. To find the actual owner info for a particular story, see if there are any usage constraints, see how many times it has been viewed, find other stories by the same author, leave a comment or suggestion for an author, etc, you can search ArcGIS Online to find the entry for the story. The item details entry for any Story Map, other web app, map or data layer will show you the owner name and you can click on their profile to find out more. So here's a search that fishes out one of the Map Tours you mention above: https://www.arcgis.com/home/search.html?q=%22Seven%20Wonders%3A%20The%20Ancient%20List%22&t=content&start=1&sortOrder=de… and you can click on that entry to find out more: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=dc6b73b9993741d891793c113d5ac7e7 Both of those tours were created by the Esri Story Maps team. To speed up the search process, if a Story Map has an 'app-id' in its URL, like this one does: https://apl.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=862af890c7ff49bd89402a53cea0e362 you can copy that ID and paste it into the ArcGIS Online search, preceded by 'id' to go directly that the entry for that story: https://www.arcgis.com/home/search.html?q=id%3A862af890c7ff49bd89402a53cea0e362&t=content&start=1&sortOrder=desc&sortFie… That saves you doing a search on the item title, which might return several search results because it takes you directly to that specified item. This method works for any item in ArcGIS Online with an ID, not just Story Maps. (The two Story Map Tours you reference above don't have an app-id in their URL because the authors hosted the source code on their own server, but if you want to get the specific appID of the Story Map being displayed via that self-hosted code, you can view the source code and look for the appid line in the source code). Hope that helps Rupert

Hi Melanie If the Story Map Tour is shared publicly, can you post a link to it so we can have a look? Does the video work OK if you switch your tour to one of the other two layouts and then try it on mobile? Can you get to the video by scrolling down through the places? Or is it just when you tap on a place on the map that the video doesn't appear? Also how are you adding your video: can you share the URL to the video? Note that the Side Panel layout doesn't support a video for the cover page, but apart from that videos should work in Side Panel, including in the small display view (e.g. on a phone). Rupert

Hi Stephanie There's not a way to upload images in bulk..they have to be uploaded one by one. You don't need to worry about the image sizes when you upload images because we automatically optimize the images. Uploaded images are stored in the Story Map Journal and are publicly accessible as long as that Story Map is. Deleting the Story Map deletes the images too. Note that if you are building a Story Map Tour or a Story Map Shortlist, one advantage of using images from Flickr or Google+ is that you can load all the images from one album directly into those stories in one go, and they automatically create places for each of the images.

Hi Stephanie Sorry about the issue. It's not really clear in our builder interface but when you use images from Flickr or Google Plus they are referenced from the Story Map, not imported into the Story Map. So if the images are deleted from Flickr or unshared, they won't be available in the Story Map. Accessing pictures from Flickr or Google Plus is really intended to be used when you or someone else are already publicly sharing images via those systems and you want to also include them in a Story Map. You could upload your images directly into the Story Map Journal builder, which is the easiest way to work with images. Alternatively you could put them onto a web server and reference them directly via URLs. That can be a good solution if you have a large number of image you want to work with because you can manage them yourself. For example I have 200+ images of San Diego that I use in various Story Maps so managing them on a web server works well because I can reference them via URLs from multiple stories instead of uploading them into each story. The tricky part with doing that, assuming you can get access to a web server or website to put them on, is ensuring that they aren't too large. Unlike accessing pics in Flickr or uploading them, Story Maps don't optimize images you reference via URLs, so you have to be aware of the size recommendations, and if your images are too large to start with it can be a pain to resize them. If you are making a Shortlist or a Map Tour though, referencing your images via URLs is really useful because you can include those URLs in a spreadsheet that you use to author those stories. (Shortlist and Map Tour are place-driven, so they let you define your places in a spreadsheet and generate the Story Map from that spreadsheet. Hope that helps. Rupert
