Whether you’re new to the table or a seasoned user of ArcGIS Hub or ArcGIS Enterprise Sites, there’s always more to learn. In this blog article, we gather a handful of resources to help you in your work. If you’re hungry for helpful hints, try them all. Or you can glean one for a taste of these tips, tools, and time savers.
If you have ArcGIS Online, you have a subscription for Hub Basic. And with an Enterprise license, you have Enterprise Sites.
ArcGIS Hub
ArcGIS Hub is a powerful web platform that helps organizations engage more effectively with their stakeholders and communities. Hub is optimized for the web, updated with the latest features, and available at two license levels: Hub Basic and Hub Premium.
Hub Premium provides additional communication and collaboration tools with initiatives, projects, discussions, and more. Learn more about the capabilities of these license levels.
ArcGIS Enterprise Sites
ArcGIS Enterprise Sites is similar to Hub Basic. But with Enterprise Sites, you can work in a disconnected environment. Look to Enterprise Sites if you need to create internal sites, manage the web server, or if an IT policy precludes the use of ArcGIS Online. Choose what fulfills the needs of you and your organization. Learn how you can use Enterprise Sites.
Esri Community
Get started with an appetizer. Esri Community offers a little bit of everything, just like a small plate menu. You can get help troubleshooting an issue, offer advice to others, and exchange ideas with a global Esri community. These are all ways to learn and share with others at the table! Esri Community is also a go-to place to find out about new features and handy tools.
Hub Gallery
For a potluck, see what others are cooking up in the ArcGIS Hub Gallery. The Hub Gallery is a curated collection of sites from around the world—a veritable feast of delicious and diverse dishes. See how organizations of all kinds are building vibrant sites.
Whether for open data sharing, marsh bird monitoring, atmospheric research, or healthcare access, Hub and Enterprise Sites are used across levels of government, nonprofits, business sectors, and more. Explore and filter this flourishing assortment of sites for examples and ideas. Inspire others by submitting your own site to the Hub Gallery!
Web help
The web help is always there when you need it. Our documentation is comprehensive and continually updated. Just dip in to this hearty source of software sustenance. Get a spoon- or ladleful of help: think chili, chowder, or a simmering stew.
The Hub web help covers content grouped by: Get started, Community, Initiatives, Sites, and Content, Collaboration. Enterprise Sites web help includes content organized by: Get started, Sites, Content, and Collaboration.
Conference talks
Learn a new skill or try something different: a fruit (pomegranate!), a spice (cardamom pods!), your favorite dish (site) spun up a different way. Our team, you, and your peers using these apps have an abundance of knowledge and expertise to share.
Check out 2025 Esri Developer & Technology Summit talks: Getting Started with ArcGIS Hub and Enterprise Sites and Deep Customization of ArcGIS Hub and Enterprise Sites.
Video recordings are also available for the tech sessions from the 2025 User Conference, as well as for the 2024 User Conference. Discover a number of other excellent playlists and resources such as tutorials, software demos, and talks from other events in the ArcGIS Hub video channel.
In addition to these technical sessions, you can also sample all of the Plenary demos that featured Hub in some way. Even if you weren’t there, you can still access these fresh talks at your own pace!
Hub-py
It’s time for dessert- would you like some Hub-py? The Hub-py package is a bountiful way to round out these offerings. Use Python to automate certain workflows in Hub and Enterprise Sites and work more efficiently.
With the Hub-py library, you can create sites and pages or search for existing ones. Automate creating and maintaining your Hub Premium initiatives and events. Many users also relish the ability to edit a layout or clone a site, within an organization, or over to a different organization.
Check out these sweet workflows on how you can go about Cloning a site within Hub and Cloning an Enterprise site to Hub and vice-versa in Esri Community articles. Keep your fork at the ready as version 2 of hub-py is in active development. New Hub Premium features will include integration with Hub discussions and events.
