Ready-To-Use Content
Map Viewer
Using Map Viewer, you can author, explore, edit, and share web maps. Map Viewer is used to perform common GIS tasks, such as to explore the contents of a web map, change the basemap, add data layers and styles, perform measurements, and execute different types of data analyses. It features responsive mapping and supports real-time updates to the map as you work.
Here’s an overview of new features and enhancements to Map Viewer delivered with this update.
Drag and drop
Map Viewer now supports adding layers using a new file drag-and-drop capability. Drag and drop files directly onto the map to initiate the New item workflow without going to My content or using Add layer. See Adding files to Map Viewer.
Easily share any map
You can now easily share any map in Map Viewer using Copy link to map, a new option from Share map on the Contents (dark) toolbar. The Map Viewer short link preserves the map at its current extent and makes it easy to share the link to the map with others in your organization, or publicly. Note that for public sharing the map must be shared publicly.
Embedding maps
When embedding a public map using ready-to-use HTML code, you can now preserve the map scale. This ensures that the map opens at the preview scale, preserving the relative size of features across devices. Otherwise, the scale varies to show the features in the preview extent. Both options allow you to embed different views of the same web map based on what you see in the preview without creating multiple copies.
Spike theme
Proportional symbols can be visualized by height using a new smart mapping Spike theme. Upwards protruding spikes symbolize values and can be configured in a variety of ways. Smaller spikes indicate smaller values and taller spikes indicate larger values.
Extent-based styling
When applying styles to layers, the entire value range of what you are symbolizing is considered. You now have the option to generate the style range based on the extent of the entire layer, or based on the current map extent. This determines what data will be used to generate the visual range for a given style and is useful when you are working with nationwide data, but are interested in authoring local maps and exposing local data nuances.
Preset styles for imagery layers
When styling an imagery layer, processing template, or variable, you can now register your changes as a preset style, which allows you to switch between different layer visualizations. These visualizations can be configured in Map Viewer or ArcGIS Pro.
Once saved, they can be selected and applied by anyone working with the map. This is especially useful for creating visualizations for additional variables in multidimensional imagery, allowing you to switch between different layer visualizations without reverting to default styling.
Editing enhancements
When editing features, you can now select multiple features using the rectangle and lasso selection tools. Bulk feature selection allows you to delete features, update feature attributes, and move several features at once instead of individually.
Charts
Like maps, charts help uncover patterns, trends, and relationships in data. When used in conjunction with maps, charts can help you tell a more complete story about your data. With this update, charts have been improved with the following:
- Charts now support the following data types: timestamp offset, data only, and big integer.
- You can now reorder charts in the Charts pane.
- Charts have been updated for better rendering performance.
- The Export button is now available on the chart toolbar and can be used to export the chart as an image or a table. Learn more about interacting with charts.
For more information, see Configure charts.
ArcGIS Arcade assistant (beta)
An Arcade assistant (beta) is now available that helps in generating code to perform certain tasks using AI. For example, you can ask a question about your data or describe what you want to do and the assistant will generate the Arcade from your prompt. Example prompts might be:
- Change the values in the field “NAM” to sentence case and append “National Park” to the string.
- Compute the change in oil production from the current feature with the average of all features within 5 miles. Include the production value for the current feature, the average production within 5 miles, the total change and percent change. Use HTML to format values in bold and colored so an increase uses green text and a decrease uses red text.
- Create a label that includes the total production of various kinds of wheat in the most recent year on separate lines. Each line should include the type of wheat and a nicely formatted value. If a value isn’t present or zero, exclude that wheat type from the label. Total wheat should always be on the first line.
Other new features and enhancements
Labeling has been improved to provide better conflict resolution and positioning, especially when multiple label classes are present.
Multipoint geometry labeling is now supported.
Map image layers can now be saved as a new layer item. When a layer is saved, current settings and configurations are saved and the layer can be used in other maps without making additional modifications.
Bezier curve support has been added to Sketch layers, allowing you to add curved arrows or paths to your map.
Time configuration has been updated to present a consistent experience between Map Viewer and Scene Viewer. These updates also include support for instant time mode (current time) in Map Viewer.
Members with appropriate privileges can now fully configure Indoors Positioning (IPS) data directly within Map Viewer. You can now enable smoothing, enable GNSS, enable Apple IPS, and enable path snapping with a distance tolerance threshold. Previously, these configurations were only possible using ArcGIS Pro.
Analysis in Map Viewer
Map Viewer’s spatial analysis tools allow you to quantify patterns and understand relationships in your data. Feature and raster analysis tools and raster functions are available to all members with the appropriate privileges.
ArcGIS Living Atlas imagery layers optimized for analysis
Select Living Atlas imagery layers have been optimized for analysis. The spatial extent for analysis has been expanded to state-wide, country-wide, or even global scale, and these layers can be used in conjunction with one another for multisource analysis. This enhancement unlocks powerful workflows such as change detection, land cover classification, urban heat analysis, and more, all without the need to download or manage any source imagery.
This capability was previously introduced in beta and is now in general availability. As of June 2025, the following layers have been optimized for analysis:
- Landsat Level-2
- USA NAIP Imagery
- Sentinel-1 RTC
- Sentinel-2 Level-2A
- Sentinel-2 10m Land Use / Land Cover Time Series
The list of optimized layers will continue to grow. The full collection of currently optimized layers can be found in the Living Atlas Imagery Layers Optimized for Analysis group.
For more information, see Understand imagery layer settings for analysis.
New and updated analysis tools
The Distance Accumulation and Distance Allocation tools and raster functions have improved performance when using the Vertical factor and Horizontal factor parameters.
The Zonal Statistics tool and raster function and Zonal Statistics as Table tool now use the cell size of the value raster as the analysis cell size for both raster and feature zone input by default, ensuring accuracy since the value raster is the primary raster that influences the output results. You can accept the default cell size setting or specify different numerical values, a raster dataset, or a keyword setting. Tools that use Maximum of inputs or another setting as the default continue to do so.
The data browser used by Enrich Layer now supports adding variables to a Favorites list and has improved search functionality. Many number variables now support choosing a statistic (count, percentage, or index) to calculate within the enrichment areas.
When creating route layers, turn-by-turn directions for multi-stop routes now include a travel time estimate for each stop along the route.
Tools and raster functions that honor the Cell size environment now support an empty option.
Parameters in a raster function templates are now only visible as variables in the Analysis pane if IsPublic is enabled. Previously, if IsPublic was not enabled for any parameters, all parameters were exposed as variables to run the function template.
The style of the Raster Function Editor has been updated to provide a consistent experience across the website.
ModelBuilder
ModelBuilder is an interactive canvas for building analysis workflows using the analysis tools available in Map Viewer. Models are created by chaining together data and analysis tools into workflows, where the output of one tool becomes the input for another tool. These workflows can range from routine data management tasks to complex spatial analysis.
With ModelBuilder, users can design, execute, and share complex multi-step analysis workflows—entirely within a browser and without writing a single line of code.
ModelBuilder is now out of beta and in general availability. Key enhancements with this update include the following:
A new Filter by Attributes tool enables users to filter data and focus on the relevant features in their analysis workflows within the model, without needing to work outside ModelBuilder. Filter by Attributes creates an output data variable of features that meet attribute criteria.
ModelBuilder also introduces a new view-only mode, so users can understand what the model does and the processes and workflows behind them, without establishing a session and consuming credits.
Input data variables in models can now be updated to reference a different hosted feature layer or table.
For more information, see ModelBuilder exits beta: now generally available in ArcGIS Online.
Scene Viewer
Scene Viewer is ArcGIS’s dedicated web app for visualizing geospatial data in 3D, from local web scenes to large-scale digital twins. With this update, Scene Viewer has been enhanced with new capabilities and features, including the following.
Focus areas
Add focus areas to your scene presentation to highlight your project area. Your project area is masked to emphasize certain details inside, while everything outside fades to the background. This helps to guide your audience’s attention to the right places and puts your work into focus.
Slice and pop-ups in presentations
Make your scene more accessible to everyone and use presentations to guide your audience through important viewpoints. You can now capture slides that include pop-ups and 3D slices to display important information and reveal what is inside or underneath the scene.
Share your scene or specific slides in presentation mode to make it easy for anyone to view.
3D tiles integrated mesh
3D tiles integrated mesh layers support modifications and can be added to Scene Viewer via a URL. You can cut holes, mask, or adjust the height of the integrated mesh to combine it with other layers. For example, if you have an integrated mesh of a city area, you can cut a hole in the mesh to remove an existing building and replace it with a 3D model of the proposed building.
Updated 3D buildings in basemap gallery
Using 3D buildings data acquired from Maxar and TomTom, as well as Esri Community Maps Contributors, new Esri 3D buildings layers have been incorporated into basemaps in the Scene Viewer basemap gallery, and include updated 3D buildings for large parts of the world.
