Duplicating a templated storymap for a learner

[TomBaker]

As of March 2022, The ArcGIS API for Python team added support for a duplicate function for storymaps.  Duplicating allows for scripting of, "computer, make a copy of this storymap and give it to user X. Please."

This  python function is probably most useful for educators when they want to create a templated storymap and then issue a copy of that template to their students as a part of an assignment. 

The challenge today:  Currently The ArcGIS API for Python API has not been rolled out to ArcGIS Online Organizations for use in Notebooks.   You'll need to install python and the new API to your local computer.  You probably want to install Python 3.8 and then install the 2.0 API.  At this time, I suggest this is a tech-heavy workflow.  If you're not comfy installing Python, configuring environments, and adding packages, I would suggest waiting until the API is added to your ArcGIS Online Organization.  Once it's in your organization, you can copy and paste this Python code to duplicate your first storymap.
