Introduction
Esri provides two models for telling stories with maps: The Classic Story Map and the newer ArcGIS StoryMap. Each offers the infrastructure to utilize ArcGIS Platform items such as Web Maps combined with supporting resources like images, text and videos for impactful storytelling. To answer your next question, please see What's the Difference?.
The platform stores each model differently, which originally created the need for a sample document specifically outlining a procedure for cloning ArcGIS StoryMaps. As the ArcGIS API for Python clone_items() method has evolved, it can now effectively transfer ArcGIS StoryMap items between organizations. Please see the Cloning and Troubleshooting Complex Items Guide for complete details.
