Publish and share

Finally, you'll publish your finished story and share it with others. Once it's published, you can choose to share the story with only people in your organization, or you can share it publicly.

On the ribbon, click Publish. 

Clicking on edit will allow you to configure what people see when your story appears on ArcGIS, social media sites, and in search engine results.

Sharing the story publicly allows anyone to search and view it. Choosing My organization (if your account is linked to an organisation) keeps viewership limited to your ArcGIS organization. You can update these sharing settings later through the More Options menu in the story builder's header.

The story is now available to others. If you click Edit story, you see the Draft badge is replaced with a Published badge. 

After publishing, you can continue to make edits or updates without affecting the shared story. When you make a change, the Published badge in the builder header changes to Unpublished changes. This signals that you've made some revisions to your story, but they have yet to be pushed to the published version.

Once you have your adjustments finalized, click Publish again to update the shared story. Or you can discard your unpublished changes using the More actions menu in the header. This is also where you can unpublish your story entirely, which will revert it to a draft and unshare the story.
