You\u2019ll also share the hosted feature layer with your organization and enable editing, and then share the view layer with the public and disable editing.\r\n\r\nFor this exercise, imagine that you have data that maps the water quality of streams in London, England. You want your colleagues to be able to edit this data as updates come in. However, you also want to share the data in a public-facing map, and you don\u2019t want to allow the public to edit it.\r\n\r\n<em>For this tip, you\u2019ll need an ArcGIS organizational account with a publisher, facilitator, or administrator role (<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.arcgis.com\/en\/become-a-member\/\"><em>see options for software access<\/em><\/a><em>).<\/em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1.

A file named London.gdb.zip is downloaded to your computer. Do not unzip it. The file geodatabase (.gdb) is a common data format for desktop GIS. It\u2019s a container that can store multiple layers of spatial and nonspatial data. To use a file geodatabase in ArcGIS Online, you must upload a zipped copy of the .gdb file.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Sign in to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcgis.com\/home\/signin.html\">ArcGIS organizational account<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>On the ribbon, click the <strong>Content<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Click the <strong>New item<\/strong> button.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":753662,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"5.
