I'm working in a group. Can we all have editing privileges for the same StoryMap?
If you're all Brandeis affiliates, yes! First, you want to request a Shared Update Group. You can email this request to Alex Willett or Natalie Susmann. Once the group is created, you need to Share Content to an ArcGIS Group.
How can I save share several StoryMaps via one URL?
Create a StoryMaps Collection. This is a great option for professors who want to share their class' projects.
I keep getting an error. What do I do?
First, Check out this guide, which troubleshoots errors commonly encountered by Brandeis' StoryMaps community. Also try Googling the problem (and be specific!). If you can't resolve the issue on your own, please email me or Alex Willett (Geospatial Librarian). Your email should be detailed: what's the error and when/how does it happen. Sending a screenshot is extremely helpful and will likely result a quick resolution!
How do I include citations in my StoryMap?
StoryMaps does not have an integrated citation manager, but that doesn't mean you should forgo citations. Some options for creating citations in StoryMaps are listed below. These are general suggestions and students should still consult with their instructor/teaching fellow.
Parenthetical in-text citations
Footnotes or endnotes
Type numbers and create an additional block where you list the corresponding citation information. This ESRI blog post describes more options: recommends copying and pasting subscript numbers from a word processor, or linking the footnote/endnote number to a citation.
