Its users create valuable maps and apps that millions of people concurrently view and interact with to understand their world.\r\n\r\nTo support the important work that users do every day, Esri continually updates ArcGIS Online to improve and expand its functionality and reliability. For the March update, the team added new 3D capabilities, a refreshed user profile page, additional editing permissions, and much more.\r\n

New 3D Capabilities<\/h2>\r\nDrape-to-mesh, a new functionality in Scene Viewer, enables users to drape features above and below integrated mesh scenes, making those features easier to see. This is especially helpful for planning special events. Say, for example, that before an event, a public safety agency uses ArcGIS Drone2Map to capture an area of interest as an integrated mesh scene layer. Event planning staff can then sketch planning features\u2014such as the locations of guards, perimeters, and assets\u2014using a 2D web app and then contextualize and communicate those plans in a 3D app."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":349041,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"Users can also now maintain their scene layer\u2019s item ID and URL by replacing the contents of a scene layer published from a scene layer package rather than having to republish the layer altogether. The scenes and apps that contain the scene layer will then have the updated contents. This improved workflow saves users time and provides a convenient way for them to assess the quality of their content before bringing it into a production web scene.\r\n

Transition to HTTPS Only<\/h2>\r\nEsri is committed to providing strong security for the ArcGIS platform by using the latest industry standards and best practices for security protocols. That\u2019s why ArcGIS Online will begin to enforce the use of all encrypted communication (HTTPS). To help organizations using ArcGIS Online transition to all HTTPS, users will be notified when they add an item that uses HTTP. Additionally, the ArcGIS Online Security Advisor tool in the ArcGIS Trust Center instantly identifies HTTP links. Starting December 8, 2020, ArcGIS Online will no longer support communication over HTTP, so users must update all their items to HTTPS before then.\r\n

The User Profile Page Gets a Refresh<\/h2>\r\nThe My profile page has been refreshed to make it easy for users to view and access their items and settings. When signed in, users can quickly identify items they shared with their organization and with the public. Two tabs, Public items and Organization items, display the user\u2019s top 12 items\u2014based on views, quality, and authoritative status\u2014in each category.\r\n\r\nThe refreshed profile page also allows users to showcase their public items and profile. When a user\u2019s profile visibility is set to Everyone (public), the public portion of the profile page serves as a live portfolio that can be shared on professional networks and social media. The user\u2019s top public items are displayed in an easy-to-navigate gallery. Groups that the user is a member of and which are set to Everyone (public) are also shown on the profile page, along with the user\u2019s image and bio.\r\n\r\nAnd now, the new My settings page organizes users\u2019 personal settings into four tabs. The General tab includes each user\u2019s profile information and linked ArcGIS Online accounts. The Security tab has each user\u2019s password and security question. The Licenses tab includes the person\u2019s user type; role; licensed products; and, if licensed, the option to download ArcGIS Pro. And the Credits tab provides an overview of the user\u2019s credit quantity (if the organization administrator has turned on credit budgeting).\r\n

Additional Editing Permissions<\/h2>\r\nArcGIS Online provides many fine-grained editing permissions. With the latest update, hosted feature layer owners and organization administrators can configure layers to allow editors to update attributes only. With this setting, feature geometries and locations are maintained even when feature attributes are changed.\r\n

Beta Products Accessible Through ArcGIS Online<\/h2>\r\nArcGIS Online users have access to many innovative beta products that invite experimentation and allow users to provide feedback to Esri to guide product development. The following beta products either are new or have received notable updates.\r\n\r\nMap Viewer Beta has received several enhancements since the last ArcGIS Online update. One key improvement is label authoring. Now, longer labels automatically wrap into multiple lines, and users can tailor their labels by\r\n
