Hi Every Story Map Tour has an associated web map in which it stores the places in the tour. That web map contains the layer in which the places are stored. You can find that web map by searching or browsing the items owned by the original account. You can also get to it via My Stories or if all else fails opening the Map Tour and using dev tools (e.g. F12 in Chrome) to get the ID of the web map it tries to open. If the Tour uses pics in Flickr, Google+ or referenced via URLs, you'll see those URLs as attributes in that layer. If the Tour uses pics that were uploaded into it, that layer will actually be a feature service layer with attachments. Either way you should be able to get to the images and download for re-use. Alternatively, you should be able to create a new Map Tour from that web map directly, by opening the map, and choosing Share > Create Web App and choosing Story Map Tour. If you want to create a new Tour in the Organization in which you have moved the Tour, move the map into that Organization and then create the tour. Ideally want all the data for your tour - the app, the web map, and the feature service (if images are handled by uploading them into the tour) to be owned by the same account in the same Org. I'd recommend just re-creating the tour with the materials you have: it is less fiddly than the above and you can control where everything ends up. Rupert ... View more

Hi When you add a tab into a Story Map Series (or bullet, or side accordion, depending on what layout you are using), choose the Web Page option for the content for the tab, and paste in the URL to the Shortlist you want to embed. You can include &embed at the end of the URL you paste it if you want to hide the header of the Shortlist. The example above also has Map Journals embedded in tabs too. See this FAQ for more info and troubleshooting for embedding apps in apps: Frequently Asked Questions | Story Maps  Rupert ... View more

OK I see what you mean; you have embedded the ArcGIS Online web map viewer in your Story Map Cascade. When you do that it is displayed as-is. There is no way to turn off the components that surround the map when you embed the ArcGIS Online web map viewer. Your other options are to just add the web map directly into the Cascade via the Media Picker in the Builder (see Step 6 in the Cascade tutorial  Story Map Cascade Tutorial | Story Maps ). This will work best because your readers will just see the interactive map and not the legend/table of contents. Alternatively, you could embed a configurable app, such as an app created with the Web App Builder, where you can pick which components to include. But I think the best approach, and the most standard approach authors take, is to add the web map into your Story Map directly rather than embedded the web map viewer. To make your story map look as good as possible on social media and search results, don't forget to add a thumbnail and a brief summary on its item page: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=d8bab8d4aeb547169cea58f61494a6bc    You can do that directly on that page or via My Stories: My Stories | Story Maps  For example tweets automatically show the title, thumbnail graphic and brief summary.

Hi  Story Map Journal doesn't support the Locate Me button for web maps it contains. However you could embed an app that supports the Locate Me button in the Story Map Journal, such as a Web App Builder app. So you'd create the Web App Builder app from your web map, then use the Web page option in Map Journal to add that app into your Map Journal main stage. Hope that helps. Rupert ... View more
