Briefings are a brand-new content type within ArcGIS StoryMaps, offering a presentation-style output that’s ideal for conveying information in a structured, visually captivating way. Just like creating stories or collections, you can use the ArcGIS StoryMaps builder to craft briefings that are tailored to your organization’s needs. Whether you’re presenting internally or externally, briefings provide a powerful platform to integrate live maps and real-time data seamlessly.

You can think of briefings as a dynamic shorter-form storytelling tool with a distinct focus on presentations. While stories are designed for readers to immerse themselves in narratives, briefings offer a horizontal, slide-based format that aligns with the structure of a presentation. This format is ideal for those moments when you need to deliver concise, impactful information quickly.
