Link to individual Story slides

Now you can link directly to a specific slide in a Cesium ion Story! The viewer and editor URLs now include hash references to each slide’s ID, so they remember exactly which slide you’re on.

Here’s how it works: when you’re presenting, just navigate to the slide you want and copy the URL from your browser. You can then share or paste this URL to open the story right at that slide.

You can also use this feature to create links between slides within the same story. First, go to the slide you want to link to (whether you’re in the editor or viewer). Copy the part of the URL that comes after the hash (#) symbol, which will look something like #slide-id-232978. Then, head to the slide where you want to create the link. In the Infobox area, type some text, and click the Link icon in the toolbar. Paste the hash portion of the URL you copied. This way, the links will work in both the viewer and the editor!
