Create your first guided tour in ArcGIS StoryMaps

Follow a short tutorial to learn the ins and outs of this immersive block

One of the most popular blocks in  ArcGIS StoryMaps , guided tour lets you lead your audience through a curated set of places, one tour stop at a time. This immersive block was added to the builder as part of the  January 2020 release  that brought a variety of new features to ArcGIS StoryMaps, and has received a number of enhancements since then.

To learn more about what guided tour is and when it might be helpful for your storytelling efforts, be sure to check out this  accompanying article  that covers all those details. Then peruse this 12-step tutorial to see how easy it is to configure, modify, and perfect guided tours in your own narratives. If you'd like, you can even jump into the story builder to follow along as we go.

So there you have it, all the basics of working with guided tour in ArcGIS StoryMaps. Take it for a spin yourself and be sure to  let us know what you think , and share your completed stories with us on Twitter at  @ArcGIS StoryMaps .
