If you loved the two column layout of journal, with its fixed main stage and scrolling narrative panel, the sidecar block in ArcGIS StoryMaps is for you. Use the docked panel to achieve the same effect. You can feature all kinds of media, like web embeds, photos, or videos; or add a map to the media panel and use map actions to invite readers to explore on their own. The expanded styling and narrative options won't disappoint, so be sure to check them out!
