Hi Guys, I am new to story map creating, I am currently trying to make a story map tour, but I didn't want to the polygon layer pop up to appear as soon as the story map is loaded, I wanted it to appear only when clicked on, is this easy to adjust?
Thank you!
Hi Owen, my mistake - I think I got things mixed up, what I mean to say is I am building a story map series (Tabbed layout), I have polygons in there, which I switch between in sequence (areas of interest in my story map). Can I also add point layer which could then be zoomed into? So far I only have polygon layers and I'm not sure if this was possibly (rookie!)
Hi Luke,
Sure, you can include layers in your map that turn on/off depending on the scale the map is being viewed. This is called the Visibility Range and it can be set on any layer in your web map.
Hi Owen, Can I put point layers onto this map ? which can zoom into them when you click them?
Hi Luke,
Sure, you can put any type of layer in your web map: points, lines, polygons, tiles, imagery, etc.
There's no way to configure the app to zoom when you click on a point on the map, although that would be something a developer could customize the app to do by writing JavaScript code.
I'm not quite sure I understand the zooming behavior you are describing. Can you describe a little more the experience you are trying to create and maybe I can help find another way to help.

If I had an image of a location that I could click on and it would zoom to a point location on the map within the tabbed layout of a storymap template
Ah, ok -- sounds like you might want to build a Map Tour with your images and a point layer and then embed that in one of the tabs of your Map Series app (using the "web page" option).
Here's some more info on that process:

Let me know if this helps,

Here's an example of a Map Tour inside a Map Series...click the "Female Farmers" tab.

Hi Luke,
Welcome to Story Maps! Sorry you are having an issue.
A Map Tour typically only has one layer, which is a point layer of the tour points, so I'm not sure which polygon layer you are referring to. Are you able to provide a bit more information and/or share your map tour publicly and post a link here so I can take a look?
