Learn how to customize a story using the story settings.

Display options

Display options help you customize your readers' experience.

Display

You can remove the menu that allows readers to share a story on social media by enabling Hide sharing options.

Note:

This option only applies to stories that are shared publicly.

You can choose if and how the date is displayed on the story cover by setting an option for Date on cover.

Story language

Note:

To make the story language setting available for ArcGIS StoryMaps on ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 or earlier, a portal administrator must enable Show beta features from Organization settings.

Setting a language in the Story settings ensures the story broadcasts the correct language to web browsers. This is recommended and ensures that browser translation tools and assistive technologies, such as screen readers, work as expected. Some languages may also require a number and date format to be set.

Unless customized, the story language is set to your ArcGIS profile language.

Note:

Your ArcGIS profile always determines the language used in the story builder. When writing a story in a different language, it's recommended that you change your ArcGIS profile to the language in which you are writing.

Analytics

Analytics is the collection of metrics related to published stories. As an author, adding analytics tracking to a story will give you insight into your audience and how they engage with your content.

Demographic metrics such as location and language preferences can inform decisions about how you tell your story and what key points to highlight to ensure your story has the greatest impact. In addition, you will have access to other metrics, such as how many people saw your story, how long they stayed on the page, and what kind of devices they used. You can gain these insights by usingGoogle Analytics or Adobe Analytics with your stories.

Note:

Adding analytics to a story is only available to authors with organizational accounts on ArcGIS Online. For more information about account options, see Licensing.

Note:

To enable adding analytics on ArcGIS Enterprise, the portal administrator must enable Allow authors to use Google Analytics from Organization settings.
