Here are a few ways you might take advantage of this feature.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2022 Educators<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re a middle school teacher. You\u2019d like your students to create an ArcGIS StoryMaps story on a current item in your curriculum, but you\u2019d rather not waste precious classroom time and effort teaching your students how to create a story from scratch. You can create a skeletal story complete with section headers, immersive sections, and places for multimedia content. When you publish your outline story, opt to allow duplication. Then ask your students to open your story and click \u201cDuplicate story.\u201d Challenge them to then flesh out their stories with their own text, and perhaps photos and maps, too, and then publish their stories for you to review and grade.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you want to share your skeletal story with other educators, both within your school system and across the country. Just send them a note with the story URL and let them duplicate it!<\/p>\n<h3>\u2022 Non-profits<\/h3>\n<p>Another scenario: You\u2019re the executive director of a land trust or conservation organization that administers a number of protected areas. You\u2019d like to show the world \u2014 and your donors \u2014 the beauty, importance, and value of the preserves you manage. You author an ArcGIS StoryMaps narrative about one of your preserves. Your story locates the preserve, describes its assets, provides a virtual walking tour of it, and features photos and videos. Once you\u2019ve published your first story, you can enable it to be duplicated within your organization so your colleagues can create stories about other preserves, swapping out content but retaining your organization\u2019s branding and using a consistent, reader-friendly story structure.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2022 GIS Professionals<\/h3>\n<p>Yet another use case: You\u2019re the GIS manager for a municipal government. You want to create reports about your city, perhaps describing the current year\u2019s capital improvement projects, or progress toward reducing pedestrian fatalities, or examining crime patterns. Your team creates story templates on these and other topics and makes them available for duplication within your team and by other teams and departments. Before long you start to see new suites of stories by teams who have been inspired by your examples to create and share their own templates.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h3>\u2022 International organizations<\/h3>\n<p>One more: You work for an international NGO that is helping local and national governments track their progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. You team with one country to create a report. You\u2019re pleased with the result, so you duplicate the story and publish an outline version that other governments can duplicate and flesh out with their own information. In fact, STGs Today at the Sustainable Development Solutions Network has developed a template that enables countries to create \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/hlpf.un.org\/vnrs\">Voluntary National Reviews<\/a>\u201d in StoryMaps form, tracking their SDG activities.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h2><strong>What\u2019s next<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now I hope you understand why I\u2019m so excited about that little <strong>Allow duplication<\/strong> option. That said, I\u2019m even more excited about what\u2019s to come. We\u2019re currently working on an array of functions that would allow story authors to create templates that seamlessly integrate instructions using text that appears only in the builder. An author using a template would be instructed to add photos, or create maps, or insert text within the sort of skeletal stories I\u2019ve described above. This will facilitate the creation of story templates and further broaden the horizon of opportunities.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h2><strong>Give it a try!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ve <a href=\"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/stories\/c535e8fdc93442f4a96c205ac242b01d\">created a template<\/a> that&#8217;s intended to be used to feature a special place, whether it&#8217;s a campus, park, preserve, historic district \u2014 you name it.
