A story can effect change, influence opinion, and create awareness\u2014and maps are an integral part of storytelling. ArcGIS StoryMaps can give your narrative a stronger sense of place, illustrate spatial relationships, and add visual appeal and credibility to your ideas.<\/p>\n<p>ArcGIS StoryMaps is updated regularly, and we have several new enhancements to announce this month.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Timeline<\/li>\n<li>Float media blocks on the right or left<\/li>\n<li>Add Survey123 forms to a collection<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Powered by ArcGIS StoryMaps&#8221; footer removed<\/li>\n<li>And more&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Timeline<\/h1>\n<p>ArcGIS StoryMaps is, of course, a powerful tool for telling place-based stories. But now you can also add a temporal component to your stories with the new timeline block (beta).<\/p>\n<p>You can use timeline to relate up to 20 \u201cevents\u201d in chronological order. Each event can have a title, description, plus an accompanying image, if desired. You can also add a spacer between events to indicate a longer passage of time. Watch the video below for a quick look at how to set up and populate a timeline block in the story builder.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"youtube","start_time":"0","end_time":"","youtube_video_url":"<iframe title=\"Timeline: Add and Populate a Timeline Block\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/37ISoGUuksc?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<p>A timeline\u2019s events are displayed vertically in one of two layout options\u2014a \u201cwaterfall\u201d style with the events centered and stacked on top of each other, or a solid vertical line with the event information off to its right side. In the future, your choice of layouts will be expanded, and we&#8217;re also looking at adding timelines to sidecar narrative panels.<\/p>\n<p>The timeline block is surprisingly versatile; the chronology of extensive historical sagas is an obvious use, but it can also be used for shorter durations, like a daily schedule, sequential instructions, such as a recipe, or even things that have nothing to do with time, like a top 10 ranking. For details about timeline and ideas for how to use it creatively see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-storymaps\/constituent-engagement\/storymaps-timeline-block\/\">A timely new block in ArcGIS StoryMaps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h1>Floating media<\/h1>\n<p>&#8220;Floating&#8221; describes when a media block is positioned on one side of the page (rather than being centered) with text flowing around it. This arrangement opens up creative options for your content layout, which can help readers stay more engaged with your story.<\/p>\n<p>You can now float media to the left or to the right of the main story narrative. These placement options are available for image, video, map, and audio media. Below is a nice example of alternating the position of images using float right, medium (centered), and float left block positions.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1220552,"id":1220552,"title":"","filename":"MicrosoftTeams-image-9.png","filesize":140315,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/story-maps\/constituent-engagement\/whats-new-in-arcgis-storymaps-may-2021\/microsoftteams-image-9","alt":"Images floating on the left and the right in a StoryMap","author":"5441","description":"","caption":"","name":"microsoftteams-image-9","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1219442,"date":"2021-05-04 19:49:51","modified":"2021-05-04 19:50:14","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":661,"height":940,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9.png","medium-width":184,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9.png","medium_large-width":661,"medium_large-height":940,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9.png","large-width":661,"large-height":940,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9.png","1536x1536-width":661,"1536x1536-height":940,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9.png","2048x2048-width":661,"2048x2048-height":940,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9-327x465.png","card_image-width":327,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9.png","wide_image-width":661,"wide_image-height":940}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<p>You&#8217;ll find the two float placement options, <strong>Float left<\/strong> and <strong>Float right<\/strong>, on the media toolbar in the story builder.
