Since it's a relatively rarely chosen option, we removed the choice when creating a StoryMap, although of course you can still make them. Set Gigapixel option laterĪlso, we've learned that many people don't understand the " gigapixel" variant of StoryMap, even though we ask if you want to make one each time a new StoryMap is created.

As a temporary measure, we still have a "sharing" tab in the original location, but it just explains this change for people who don't read this post.

We've moved them to the "sharing" pane so that people will see them when they're relevant. These configuration options used to be on a tab under the "options" menu, where they were often overlooked.

This should make it easier for people to know what they are looking at as they move between slides editing a StoryMap. We think they make the tool easier to use, but we wanted to explain the changes for any veteran users who might notice them. Based on research and user testing, we're making a number of small changes to StoryMapJS.
