Logging into ArcGIS Online
Add this bookmark! https://stolaf.maps.arcgis.com/
You should receive an email invitation from ArcGIS Online - click on the link in the invitation in order to activate your account.
Tips for working with ArcGIS StoryMaps & ArcGIS Online:
- When accessing ArcGIS Online, make sure that the website says "stolaf" somewhere in the URL (https://stolaf.maps.arcgis.com) before starting a project. There should be a St. Olaf banner after logging in.
- StoryMaps will autosave throughout the project, but try to avoid having the project open in multiple tabs. It could create a version conflict.
- Safari will occasionally return error messages when logging in or accessing previously created projects - just switch to Chrome and this will fix it!
