Activities are automatically added when added releases but they can also be managed manually. This can be done by selecting the “Setting“ → “Add and remove activities“.

Bug Fixes

• Explore items are now ordered alphabetically and are not case-sensitive.

• On the Story Maps page, when searching for a Story Map with the type “Shared with you (Viewer)“, some Story Maps would get filtered out incorrectly, this has been fixed.

• In some cases, the edit epic name Icon popover would display in the corner of the screen and not be usable. This has been changed to a button that opens the “Edit epic name“ popup screen.
