That workflow is still an excellent choice, but now you can launch the map tour builder directly from the ArcGIS for Storytelling website, without the need to author, save, and share a map first.\r\n\r\nHere's how to gather and organize your image, write your copy, make your web, map and share it in 10 or 15 minutes.\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1:<\/strong>\u00a0From the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/en\/\">ArcGIS for Storytelling<\/a>\u00a0website, choose\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/en\/app-list\/\">Storytelling Apps<\/a>\u00a0from the top menu:\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/2018\/09\/0414-tip1.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nYou will find Map Tour under the Sequential, Place-based Narratives section. Click BUILD A TOUR to begin.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/2018\/09\/0414-tip2.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2:<\/strong>\u00a0Log in. Behind the scenes, the map used in your tour will be created and saved in your account. Use your ArcGIS account to log in.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/2018\/09\/0414-tip3.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter the Map Tour builder opens, you can start to create your tour.\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3:<\/strong>\u00a0Retrieve your images or videos from Flickr, Facebook, Picasa, YouTube, or a CSV file and click Import. If your images are not already online, you can host them using your ArcGIS account.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/2018\/09\/0414-tip4.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 4:<\/strong>\u00a0Select your images or other media and place them on your map. Add your title and descriptions. Once you complete your tour, click SAVE.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/2018\/09\/0414-tip5.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nA message will confirm that you've successfully saved your tour.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/2018\/09\/0414-tip6.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 5:<\/strong>\u00a0You'll also want to share your tour so that others can view it. Click Close in the dialog box shown above, then click SHARE in the Map Tour builder.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/2018\/09\/0414-tip7.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 6:<\/strong>\u00a0Next, choose how you want to share your map tour. Click Share publicly if you want to make sure everyone can find and use it. You also can click Share with my Organization if you only want to share the tour within your ArcGIS organization:\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/2018\/09\/0414-tip8.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nShare your tour using the highlighted link:\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/2018\/09\/0414-tip9.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nRemember that both the map and your story map tour are saved as items in My Content, where you'll see the just-created map and app.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/2018\/09\/0414-tip10.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nYou can manage and edit the maps and apps like any other items. You should complete your item details and add a good thumbnail.\r\n\r\nFor more information, see the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/en\/app-list\/map-tour\/tutorial\/\">Map Tour
