This is the second post in the series<\/a> on using the Story Map Cascade<\/a>\u00a0builder<\/strong>. This article focuses on the Media Picker.<\/p>\n

The Media Picker is what you use to add content to your Cascade story. You can easily browse, search, and link to photos, videos, and geographic content that you’ve prepared. It also offers several ways to search for content on the web.<\/p>\n

ArcGIS<\/h2>\n

The ArcGIS tab is where you’ll find geographic content. You can browse and search for maps and scenes in your own account (My Content) and your organization. You can also access the rich content published and curated by Esri and contributed by thousands of government, commercial, and non-profit organizations that make their geographic content available on ArcGIS Online.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ArcGIS tab always starts by showing your most recently created or modified items first to make them easy to find. If you need to find something else choose where you want to search and enter some keywords in the search box.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Media Picker Tip<\/strong>: You can use\u00a0search fields<\/a>\u00a0like\u00a0<\/em>owner:Esri\u00a0to find items quickly.<\/em><\/p>\n

To refine your search results there are filters for showing or hiding images, maps, and scenes (the image filter is only available when browsing “This Story”), and you can sort in either direction by date or title.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ArcGIS tab in the Media Picker isn’t just for geographic content — you can also use it to\u00a0upload photos to your ArcGIS account<\/strong>. Just drag an image onto the drop zone to upload it and add it to your story.<\/p>\n
