Your viewers can move laterally through the slideshow, using the arrows on the right and left edges of the screen or by swiping left and right on touch devices to move through the presentation. \u00a0When they\u2019ve looked at the slideshow content, they can simply keep scrolling down through the rest of your story.\r\n\r\nTo see a story map created using the slideshow capability, view <a href=\"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/stories\/d957d4687566411e8364ca6290fa9071\">Marvelous Maui<\/a>.
