Choose a Story Map app template<\/h3>\n

Go to the Story Maps\u00a0Apps page<\/b><\/a>\u00a0to browse the available templates and choose the best one for your project. Each template lets you deliver a specific viewing experience to your audience. There are templates for map-based tours, points of interest, in-depth narratives, presenting multiple maps, and more. Spend some time comparing the templates, the layout options they offer, and the different components they let you incorporate in your story.<\/p>\n

From exploring the Story Maps Gallery, you may already have a good idea of which app template will work best for you. If not, there’s a wizard on the Apps page with an ‘Ask the Pros’ feature that can guide you to the best app template for your story.<\/p>\n

Start building<\/h3>\n

Simply click the ‘Build’ button for the app template you’ve chosen to launch an intuitive, interactive story builder.<\/p>\n

Our story builders make it easy to author your story. No coding is required. Story Maps are part of\u00a0ArcGIS Online<\/b><\/a>, Esri’s cloud-based mapping and GIS platform, so you’ll sign in with your ArcGIS Online account to create your story. Your story maps, along with the maps and data they use, are hosted securely in ArcGIS Online. There’s nothing to download or install.<\/p>\n

If you need help, each app template has a tutorial page that guides you through the authoring process. If you need more help be sure to visit the Story Maps\u00a0Resources<\/b><\/a>\u00a0page. Got a question? Check out our\u00a0FAQ<\/b><\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n

As part of ArcGIS, Esri Story Maps let you use the full power of the world’s leading mapping and GIS platform to create your maps. You can collect and assemble your own data, use data available in your organization, and also choose from the huge collection of ready-to-use, authoritative data published by Esri and many other leading partners and agencies via the\u00a0ArcGIS Living Atlas<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can add your own data to ArcGIS web maps in many different formats, ranging from tabular data assembled in spreadsheets, to data published online from ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap, Esri’s desktop products for GIS professionals. You can create your web maps in ArcGIS Online first and then reference them when you build your story, although some of the app templates also let you create and edit your maps from within their interactive builders, so you can do your mapping as part of building your story. In addition the two ‘place-based’ app templates, Story Map Tour and Story Map Shortlist, automatically generate a web map for you when you load your places into them.<\/p>\n

Story Maps are also available in Esri’s ArcGIS Enterprise product, which enables an enterprise to set up its own web-based mapping and GIS infrastructure. If you are using ArcGIS Enterprise, you’ll create story maps by signing into your Enterprise Portal, rather than signing into this website.<\/p>\n
