@greysonviz @ArcGISStoryMaps Yep! I love this story and use it all the time as an example. Great work @greysonviz !

[Owen Evans @OwenGeo]

@LimnoShane We are looking at feature layers as the source for the new explorer block (as well as guided tours). However, classic Shortlists that used feature layers pointed to images via URL. We'll probably start with image attachments and consider externally hosted images after that.

[Owen Evans @OwenGeo]

@LimnoShane Not in the first release, but we're still thinking through it. Any specific comments on how tabs would work or do you envision them working exactly like Shortlist?

[Owen Evans @OwenGeo]

@geo_joe34 @ArcGISStoryMaps @AllenCarroll The use-your-own-basemap feature is now available for guided tours. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Meet #EsriUC plenary cohost @RaeWynnGrant, @NatGeo fellow & large carnivore ecologist.

[Owen Evans @OwenGeo]

I love this epic #ArcGISStoryMap about sea level rise in #VirginiaBeach. It's a collection of stories brought together as chapters of longer narrative. The story expertly uses guided tour, sidecar, and slideshow, and it has some really nice express maps. https://t.co/kk8Ww6dxLz

@daenwalsh @AfricaGeoPortal Be sure you plan for how your page will behave on smaller screens. Stories work well on mobile, but when embedded in a small frame on your site there might not be a lot of room. Consider adding a link to open the story in a new tab for someone visiting your site on their phone.

[Owen Evans @OwenGeo]

@daenwalsh @AfricaGeoPortal There isn't a specific snippet of iframe code to copy (but we're working on providing that), but you easily can just create your own iframe to embed a story in your website. Note that the header will be hidden when the story is embedded.
