About the Storyteller user type

Tell remarkable stories with custom maps that inform and inspire. With the Storyteller user type license, you can create express maps or build stories with content from your ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise organization. Marketers, communications coordinators, journalists, and public relations managers are likely to find the Storyteller user type a good match for their job responsibilities. The Storyteller is a dependent user type, which means it must be purchased with at least one foundational user type (GIS Professional or Creator) or added to an existing organization.

Capabilities

With the Storyteller user type, you can perform the following capabilities:

  • Quickly build maps with the express mapping tool

    Design your interactive map in minutes using express maps within the story builder. Add points, pop-ups, and arrows to enhance your story. 

  • Share stories with your team or the public

  • Access authoritative data to accelerate your work

    Enhance your maps with ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World, the foremost collection of geographic information from around the globe. Access basemaps and integrate data from authoritative sources.
