ArcGIS StoryMaps Goes Mobile First
Users of ArcGIS StoryMaps can now author short-form, mobile-first stories using the new Frames format. Designed to make it easy to share visually compelling stories with on-the-go audiences across social media platforms, Frames stories begin with a cover slide and can include up to 20 additional slides that contain text, images, videos, maps, and embedded ArcGIS apps such as ArcGIS Dashboards and ArcGIS Survey123. Frames supports web maps, web scenes, and express maps created in the Frames builder. Learn more about this new format and see how Frames works.
