Stories are the creative conversion of life itself into a more powerful, clearer, more meaningful experience. They are the currency of human contact.

Header

Side Panel

A layout for a text intensive story that excels at combining your photos, videos, and maps in a clear focused message.

Floating Panel

A layout that puts your cartography in focus while allowing a transparent short form text panel to help tell the story.

Display sharing links at the bottom of each section

This enables readers to reference and promote specific sections of your Map Journal. For instance, if you use a sections share icon, readers will land at that specific Map Journal section rather than the beginning of your story. Your readers can use the social media link in the title section to promote your entire Map Journal (header tab) and have them land at the start of the Map Journal.

Your story is using Side Panel layout, but we now recommend using this option only with Floating Panel layout to avoid an issue where the panel may not position itself to the desired section for narratives with images. You may continue to use this option, but if you disable it, it will then only be available when using Floating Panel layout.

This story map cannot play raw video files (e.g., avi, mpeg), but it can play hosted videos with built-in players (e.g., YouTube or Vimeo). Most video hosting services offer this feature. Find the option to embed the video, copy the code provided, and add it to your story using the Web page content option.

Alternatively, you can host the video yourself along with an HTML page that uses a video player like Video.js. You'd then add the URL of that HTML page to your story as a Web page.
