We\u2019ve rolled out several enhancements this month that provide new ways to style your express maps.<\/p>\n<p>You can now change the style of individual express map features. For lines and areas, this means you can set the color for each feature individually. For points, you can set the color, and there are now three marker sizes for un-numbered points for you to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all. You can now upload your own image symbols as well. This is handy if you have a specific symbol you\u2019d like to use for each feature in the express map.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"youtube","start_time":"0","end_time":"","youtube_video_url":"<iframe title=\"Express Maps: Customize Individual Point Symbols\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8esrde4zfMM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Map tours<\/h2>\n<p>After the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-storymaps\/mapping\/explorer-tour-added-to-storymaps\/\">explorer tour<\/a> was released last month it joined forces with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-storymaps\/constituent-engagement\/now-available-in-arcgis-storymaps-guided-tour-beta\/\">guided tour<\/a> to form an amazing duo of map tours that you now have at your disposal for showcasing sets of places.<\/p>\n<p>Both types of map tour can contain up to 100 places. Wouldn\u2019t it be great if you didn\u2019t have to upload images one at a time to create a map tour? Well, now you can jumpstart the creation of a tour by uploading a batch of up to 100 photos at once.<\/p>\n<p>Just browse and select (or drag and drop) all the photos you want to add into the tour builder, and a tour will be automagically created for you. You can reorder or remove photos from the tour before uploading, and of course any geotagged photos will be placed on the map according to their location information.

This month, there have been updates to two major parts of the story builder to make them easier to use.<\/p>\n<h3>Block palette<\/h3>\n<p>The capabilities of ArcGIS StoryMaps have grown quite a bit since its initial release in July 2019. Blocks like audio, swipe, slideshow, and many others have been added since the early days.<\/p>\n<p>The block palette has grown quite a bit, and it now has a compact, single-column, scrolling design to make it easier to add content to a story. Blocks are still categorized by type, and hovering over an item still shows a tooltip with more information. We\u2019ve also tweaked the behavior of these tooltips to improve the experience of using the palette.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1042211,"id":1042211,"title":"Screen Shot 2020-10-19 at 4.38.20 PM","filename":"Screen-Shot-2020-10-19-at-4.38.20-PM.jpg","filesize":71769,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-19-at-4.38.20-PM.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-storymaps\/constituent-engagement\/whats-new-in-arcgis-storymaps-october-2020\/screen-shot-2020-10-19-at-4-38-20-pm","alt":"Story builder block palette","author":"5441","description":"","caption":"","name":"screen-shot-2020-10-19-at-4-38-20-pm","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1042021,"date":"2020-10-20 15:01:41","modified":"2020-10-20 15:01:52","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1632,"height":1310,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-19-at-4.38.20-PM-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-19-at-4.38.20-PM.jpg","medium-width":325,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-19-at-4.38.20-PM.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":616,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-19-at-4.38.20-PM.jpg","large-width":1345,"large-height":1080,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-19-at-4.38.20-PM-1536x1233.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1233,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-19-at-4.38.20-PM.jpg","2048x2048-width":1632,"2048x2048-height":1310,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-19-at-4.38.20-PM-579x465.jpg","card_image-width":579,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-19-at-4.38.20-PM-1345x1080.jpg","wide_image-width":1345,"wide_image-height":1080}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Text formatting toolbar<\/h3>\n<p>The text formatting toolbar now has a dropdown menu that shows a labeled list of all text block types.
