ArcGIS Earth is built on the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET. The latest release of ArcGIS Runtime<\/a> brings major improvements to the July 2021 release of ArcGIS Earth, including an expanded config.xml sharing workflow, an improved Configuration Manager UI, as well as additional enhancements.<\/p>\n

Highlights<\/h2>\n

In the previous April 2021 release, config.xml distribution was improved across the ArcGIS ecosystem. Starting with ArcGIS Online<\/span> 9.1 and the upcoming ArcGIS Enterprise<\/span> 10.9.1,\u00a0ArcGIS Earth<\/span> configuration files can be uploaded and hosted as .xml<\/span> files. In the newest release of ArcGIS Earth<\/span>, users have the ability to share local configuration files with their organization as .XML files directly through the ArcGIS Earth<\/span>\u00a0Configuration Manager.<\/p>\n
