This is especially useful if you want to add your organization\u2019s logo or branding to your print output or require more room to support a larger legend. \u00a0Custom layout items can also add consistency and branding to the print experience for your organization.<\/p>\n
This new capability will be available as a beta offering at this time for Professional and Professional Plus user types.<\/a> Printing from the default templates will continue to be available for all users.\u00a0 Along with this enhancement, the Map Viewer print tool itself has been updated with a cleaner look and we have introduced a print preview option to provide a better indication of the map area that will be included in your print output.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" Opting in to the Beta & Preparing your layout items<\/strong><\/p>\n Print layouts are authored in ArcGIS Pro and can be published to ArcGIS Online as items.\u00a0 The ArcGIS Pro authoring experience gives you full control over page size, colors, layout elements, and allows for the inclusion of custom logos or legends. For more information on authoring layout items please see the documentation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n To opt in to the beta, Organization administrators must configure a Layout template group <\/a>on the utility services section of the Organization settings page. First, create a group containing the print layout items you have published and then select that as the Layout template group. (Note – If your organization has blocked access to beta capabilities, the option to configure this group will not available).<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2386622,"id":2386622,"title":"Org Settings","filename":"Org-Settings.jpg","filesize":71574,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Org-Settings.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/mapping\/print-from-layout-items\/org-settings","alt":"An image indicating where to configure a layout template group for printing in ArcGIS Online.","author":"9622","description":"","caption":"Configure your layout template group in the Organization settings.
