It\u2019s time to refresh your browser<\/strong>\u00a0– ArcGIS Online has been updated with the following new features and enhancements. This update includes important enhancements for configuring applications, authoring web maps, administering your organization, and more.<\/p>\n

Favorites<\/strong>
\nYou can\u00a0create a list of favorites<\/a>\u00a0from items you find via search or in the Gallery, or have added to My Content. Click the star appearing in the upper left corner of the thumbnail to add or remove from your favorites. For more information see\u00a0Item details<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gallery<\/strong>
\nView your favorites in a new My Favorites section of the Gallery. The Gallery has been redesigned to make it easy to find your favorites, featured content from your organization, and featured content from Esri.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gallery sort and filter tools have also been improved, and a new list display option is available.<\/p>\n

+++<\/strong><\/p>\n

Map Viewer
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

View only mode when not logged in<\/strong>
\nA simplified map viewer opens if the user has not logged in to their account. Capabilities such as Save, Add, Get Directions, Manage Bookmarks, and some layer options are not available, making the map viewer easier to use for casual, anonymous users of your maps. Sign in or click Modify Map to enable all map viewer capabilities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Map copy \/ delete protection<\/strong>
\nMap authors can disable Save As to prevent users from saving copies of their maps. Maps (and other items) can also be protected from accidental deletion. Save As and Delete Protection can be set when editing the map item details.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

+++<\/strong><\/p>\n

Map Layers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Add from favorites
\n<\/strong>You can search for layers to add to your map from your favorites. See\u00a0Add layers<\/a>.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Copy layer<\/strong>
\nMap authors can\u00a0copy a layer<\/a>\u00a0in their map and configure different properties on the copied layer, such as pop-ups and symbols. The copied layer and its properties can be saved as a new item for use in other maps. See\u00a0Copy and save layers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Save map feature layers<\/strong>
\nFeature layers you import to your map, such as those created from CSV files and map notes, can now be saved as new items to My Content. These layers become referenced in the map, and changes made from the map are saved in the item if you are the item owner.<\/p>\n

Disable time animation<\/strong>
\nTime-enabled layers now offer the option to\u00a0disable the time animation<\/a>\u00a0so the time slider does not appear on the map. See\u00a0Configure time settings<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n

GeoRSS symbols<\/strong>
\nSymbols for GeoRSS layers can be changed, making it easy to distinguish between multiple GeoRSS feeds in your map.<\/p>\n

More symbolization options<\/strong>
\nYou can now\u00a0rotate point symbols<\/a>\u00a0using a rotation value stored in a field allowing the symbol to show direction. For example, symbols can be rotated to show the direction of wind, or the direction a vehicle is traveling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A new collection of arrow symbols has been added that can be used for showing direction.<\/p>\n

Other capabilities include new\u00a0normalization\u00a0<\/strong>options, the ability to\u00a0vary the width\u00a0<\/strong>of lines,\u00a0<\/strong>and adding\u00a0graduated point symbols\u00a0<\/strong>to polygons.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

See\u00a0Change symbols<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n

Map notes text<\/strong>
\nMap notes now includes interactive text that can added, sized, and rotated. See\u00a0Map notes<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Save Layer<\/strong>
\nSave Layer replaces Save Item Properties in layer options. Use Save Layer to save layer configurations you\u2019ve made to your existing items, as well as to save layers as new items.<\/p>\n

+++<\/strong><\/p>\n

CityEngine Web Viewer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screenshot tool<\/strong>
\nA new screenshot tool has been added that offers a choice of resolutions and aspect ratios. Select an option, then click save to open the captured scene in a viewer of your choice, or save to a file.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Improved search<\/strong>
\nSearch results are now highlighted in your scene with other features dimmed, making them easier to see. Search has also been optimized for faster response.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Improved Share<\/strong>
\nThe share dialog has been enhanced to provide a number of options for sharing your web scene. You can share via a link, email, Facebook, or Twitter. You can also generate the embed HTML with options for a full or reduced user interface, and autoplay of slides<\/p>\n

Other<\/strong>
\nA dedicated\u00a0comments panel<\/strong>\u00a0has been added, making it easier to browse comments and identify author comments from other comments. Mouse\u00a0navigation<\/strong>\u00a0has also been changed to provide a more natural experience when navigating web scenes.<\/p>\n

+++<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apps<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ready-to-Use Apps and Configurable Apps can now be displayed and opened directly from the Esri Featured Content section of the Gallery.<\/p>\n
