It makes it easy to explain complex topics related to your knowledge and experience. ArcGIS StoryMaps is updated regularly with new features and capabilities, and here\u2019s what\u2019s been added recently:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#publish-options\">Redesigned publishing<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#contrast-checker\">Contrast checker for improved accessibility<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#more\">And more&#8230;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 id=\"publish-options\" style=\"scroll-margin-top: 70px\">Redesigned publishing<\/h1>\n<p class=\"p1\">Publishing is a critical step in the life of every story. It\u2019s that watershed moment when you, as the author, decide: my work is ready to share with others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">ArcGIS StoryMaps provides many options to customize your published story. This month we\u2019ve updated the publishing experience with a new <b>Publish options<\/b> screen that looks great and brings important options front-and-center. This new screen also provides quick access to other options that you might not have been aware of or that you forget to set before publishing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In <strong>Publish options<\/strong>, you can customize the <em>story card<\/em>, which is the set of information that is shown when your story is shared. For example, if someone shares your story on Twitter, the information in the story card is what appears in the tweet.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This information is also shown when your story appears in ArcGIS content lists and in ArcGIS StoryMaps. Given the importance of this information, you are now presented with the ability to review or edit this information every time you publish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Other useful settings are also available in the story builder, such as the ability to set the story language, adjust how or whether the date is displayed on the cover, or configure analytics to track reader engagement. These options are also not new, but you&#8217;ll now have a quick way to review or update them each time you publish. Just click the <strong>Story settings<\/strong> link at the bottom of the <strong>Publish options<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the video below for a walk through of the new publish options.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"kaltura","video_id":"1_bq2dsymi","time":false,"start":0,"stop":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 id=\"contrast-checker\" style=\"scroll-margin-top: 70px\">Contrast checker for improved accessibility<\/h1>\n<p class=\"p3\">Accessibility is an important consideration for anyone creating content on the web. To ensure your story is readable by others, it is recommended that you follow best practices for meeting color contrast guidelines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">One of the most important times to consider color contrast guidance is when building a theme. In theme builder, you\u2019ll now see warnings when colors you\u2019ve selected don\u2019t meet color contrast guidelines. You can expand the warning dropdown to see more information about the calculated contrast ratios between your selected text and background colors and how they compare to the guidelines. As you make adjustments in the color picker, the warnings will update instantly based on your new color selections making it easy to home in on legible color combinations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">This guidance is also available in the story builder whenever you set the color of text.\u00a0The video below shows the new color checker in action.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"kaltura","video_id":"1_7mq09amq","time":false,"start":0,"stop":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information about creating accessible content with ArcGIS StoryMaps, see <a href=\"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/stories\/02670c9018f14cfbbaef7cba5c54d453\"><span class=\"s1\">Getting started with accessible storytelling<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h1 id=\"more\" style=\"scroll-margin-top: 70px\">And more\u2026<\/h1>\n<p class=\"p1\">Our team has been spending time on stability and maintenance fixes to make ArcGIS StoryMaps even more useful and reliable.
