Earlier this year marked the introduction of briefings, a slide-based storytelling format, that helps you communicate and tell stories in new ways. This month we\u2019ve added more features to briefings, stories, and collections. Help us celebrate by taking a look back at all the features ArcGIS StoryMaps has added over the years: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/?s=#&amp;tag=whats-new-in-storymaps\">ArcGIS Blog: What&#8217;s new in ArcGIS StoryMaps<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a rundown of what&#8217;s new this month:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#media-actions\">Link-style media actions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#briefings\">Add tables and code to briefings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#analytics\">Configure analytics for briefings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#collection-date\">Show date for collections<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#hide-cover\">Hide story cover<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#image-formats\">More image formats<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#more\">And more&#8230;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 id=\"media-actions\" style=\"scroll-margin-top: 70px;\">Link-style media actions<\/h1>\n<p>Media actions were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/story-maps\/constituent-engagement\/whats-new-in-arcgis-storymaps-march-2024\/\">recently introduced<\/a> in ArcGIS StoryMaps. This feature provides the ability to create buttons that readers can click to show different pieces of media in the sidecar. Media actions, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-storymaps\/mapping\/supercharge-your-stories-with-map-actions-beta\/\">map actions<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-storymaps\/mapping\/choreograph-your-maps-with-arcgis-storymaps\/\">map choreography<\/a>, enable many creative storytelling techniques. Now, in addition to creating media action <em>buttons<\/em>, you can also configure media actions on <em>text selections<\/em> in your story. This gives you another option for creating interactive elements that are more compact and appear inline in a story paragraph.<\/p>\n<p>Check out this video to see link-style media actions&#8230;in action.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"kaltura","video_id":"1_ua876gr7","time":false,"start":0,"stop":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn more about media actions, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-storymaps\/mapping\/supercharge-your-stories-with-map-actions-beta\/\">Supercharge your stories with media actions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 id=\"briefings\" style=\"scroll-margin-top: 70px;\">Add tables and code to briefings<\/h1>\n<p>The ability to add <strong>tables<\/strong> to a story was added back in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/story-maps\/constituent-engagement\/whats-new-in-arcgis-storymaps-august-2023\/\">August 2023<\/a>, which happened to be the same time briefings were released in beta.
