Hi Owen, Many thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I am raising the bugs/suggestions on behalf of a customer as they had raised these via a support call. I forwarded on your request for additional information and they responded yesterday evening with the information below: - Here are some thoughts based on the points below. I'd be grateful if you could pass them on. 1: Title copy-paste issue: it's good to know that this will be fixed / functionality enhanced 2: Video: Also good to know about the planned improvements. One option I had tried was to include videos as media in narrative panels of immersive sections, where the viewer can choose to click play, but the video would not auto switch off. For this it would be good to have an option for the video / audio to play for the rest of the immersive section e.g. where some music applies to the rest of the content in the immersive section. 3: Font issue: This video in Dropbox illustrates the bug: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ws9hw8q9o7t6in6/Immersive%20section%20bugs%20w%20title%20can%27t%20paste%20and%20hyperlinks%20change%20to%20large%20font.mp4?dl=0 The map issue is shown on the next link: During edit, if you change the view of a map in a sequence the map is changed in the previous views. I found by accident that sometimes this hasn't actually happened - it just appears to have happened, but you can't find out for sure without a save and refresh, which is obviously confusing and time-consuming: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ws9hw8q9o7t6in6/Immersive%20section%20bugs%20w%20title%20can%27t%20paste%20and%20hyperlinks%20change%20to%20large%20font.mp4?dl=0 4: Map configurations: Sometimes the blue checkmark save doesn't work, so you make changes and think they've been saved only to find out later that they haven't e.g. to move map around to coincide with another view. Sometimes the zoom controls disappear during edit. Sometimes the configuration isn't remembered. The process is all rather glitchy and unreliable. An extra suggestion for saving views: To enable views of two or more consecutive web maps to be identical (e.g. to compare a layer of data on imagery basemap with street basemap to provide a 'swipe' effect), like the 'snapshot view' function in Google Earth. At present the only way to achieve this is manually by trial and error which is time-consuming. I hope that helps. I'm keen to help out in any way to make the apps work better. I've been assembling two Cascade story maps, one of which I would like to share publicly very soon. I would welcome any advice about the time frame for improvements especially to the functionality with video and mobiles. I can change all the videos from immersive sections to narrative sections, but if the video / mobile functionality will be improved I may be able to wait for that.
