      "question": "Why aren't my Google Drive or DropBox Zoomify images working?",
      "answer": "<p>Unfortunately, Google has <a href='http://googleappsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2015/08/deprecating-web-hosting-support-in.html' target='_blank'>deprecated web hosting in Google Drive</a>, which means that Zoomify images hosted on Google Drive. will no longer display. Dropbox has similary <a href='https://www.dropbox.com/help/16' target='_blank'>discontinued rendering content in public folders</a>, so this method will cause problems for many users as well.</p><p>We're working on a solution, but for right now the only other option seems to be hosting your images on a web server.</p>"

      "answer": "<p>First the image must be in the public folder.</p><p>To get the image URL change the domain name from the link that dropbox creates.</p><p><strong>Incorrect:</strong> <code>https://www.dropbox.com/s/38053034/GOT%20Storymap%20images/jon-weirwood-tree.jpg</code></p><p><strong>Correct:</strong> <code>https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38053034/GOT%20Storymap%20images/jon-weirwood-tree.jpg</code></p>"

      "question": "How can I have a map without the lines between points?",
      "answer": "To disable connecting lines on maps, use the StoryMap option: <code>Treat as Image</code> <em>(as opposed to the default, <code>Treat as Cartography</code>)</em>"

      "slug": "",
      "question": "How can I link to a specific slide?",
      "answer": "<p>You can add a parameter to the URL that is the value of the iframe src attribute, <code>start_at_slide</code>. Its value should be a number from 0 to one less than the total number of slides in the storymap.</p> <p><strong>For example:</strong> <code>http://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/storymapjs/latest/embed/?url=//media.knightlab.com/StoryMapJS/demo/sochi.json&start_at_slide=5</code></p><p>This should load <q>Sochi 2014 Olympic Torch Relay Highlights: Slide 5.</q></p>"

      "question": "How can I use a custom map?",
      "answer": "<p>Choose <code>options</code> from the top left of the StoryMap window, then from the <code>map type</code> menu choose the type you like.</p> <p>Select <code>Mapbox</code> to enter the ID of your Mapbox map.</p> Select <code>custom</code> to enter the URL for a tile server. If the server supports multiple subdomains, enter them as a single string in the Subdomain field (e.g. subdomains 'a', 'b', and 'c' should be entered as 'abc')."

      "slug": "",
      "question": "How can I adjust the zoom?",
      "answer": "<p>To keep it simple for most users, we've made some assumptions in the authoring tool which may not universally apply. For example, the first screen is always an <code>overview</code> slide. Also, the zoom is affected by the overall size of the map and the relationship between the current and previous points on the map.</p> <p>It's possible to download the configuration (a JSON file) that the authoring tool makes and edit the JSON yourself. You could then change the first slide to not be an <code>overview</code> and manually set a starting lat/lon/zoom.</p> <p>Be aware that switching back and forth between editing within and outside the authoring tool can get messy, so we suggest using our <a href='https://storymap.knightlab.com/advanced/'>advanced</a> method to have maximum control over the zoom feature and more.</p>"
