Story Map is a Headache

[Aman Onfy Mous]

That's actually a feature I wish could be made unique for each account. Once you've collapsed a branch, it stays collapsed every time you go back to that story's map unless you uncollapse it again. It saves from your browser having to load every branch, when you're only really after specific branches.

This would work to some extent IF accompanied by a change to the date field.

If the branch is open, it shows the date of the chapter.
If the branch is closed, it shows the date of the most recent chapter added within the closed branch.

Otherwise you just end up having to open EVERYTHING back up to find a new chapter.
