Finally, extend automated workflows with spatial capabilities using the <\/span>ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n How to get started with ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 components?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The <\/span>Get Started with ArcGIS for Microsoft 365<\/span><\/a> blog post and <\/span>documentatio<\/span><\/a>n provide detailed instructions for you to begin using the products effectively.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Can I use ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 components without an ArcGIS identity?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes. There is a standard experience that allows limited functionality across the components.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ArcGIS for Excel and ArcGIS for SharePoint can map data that has latitude and longitude coordinates. ArcGIS for Power BI can locate data leveraging addresses, boundaries, or latitude and longitude coordinates. ArcGIS for Teams will allow you to search and view the millions of maps, apps, and layers available across the global ArcGIS system.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Can I install all the ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 components at once as a bundle? I noticed an option for this on the Microsoft App Store. What is the difference between the installations?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 apps cannot be installed as a bundle. The applications have different approaches for installing the App\/Add-in, and unfortunately there is not a single way to deploy them. <\/span> Is the ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 Product Family being retired or deprecated?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 product family is not being retired or deprecated. The confusion may be arising from the retiring the product family\u2019s predecessor, ArcGIS Maps for Office. The components are actively maintained and enhanced with no plans for deprecation.<\/span> How can I install ArcGIS for Excel? Are there step-by-step instructions available for this installation process?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n There are multiple ways ArcGIS for Excel Online can be added to Microsoft Excel. An organization may allow individuals to manage the download and installation of Excel add-ins from Microsoft AppSource. Organization-approved add-ins can be deployed via a Centralized Deployment in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Please consult Microsoft resources on <\/span>choosing the correct approach<\/span><\/a> that meets your organization\u2019s needs. For specific details on ArcGIS for Excel, you can learn more about <\/span>installation and management<\/span><\/a> from the online resources.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What can be done without logging into ArcGIS?\u202fWhat are the benefits of having an ArcGIS identity?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Without an ArcGIS identity users can visualize data that has latitude and longitude coordinates or <\/span>Esri JSON <\/span><\/a>Geometry. Users can interact with these maps to gain insights by measuring distances and areas on the map. The map can show additional context by incorporating spatial data from the Living Atlas and a subset of basemaps. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With an ArcGIS Identity, users can access your organization’s authoritative data and advanced analysis capabilities, including geocoding, geoenrichment, cell functions, drive-time analysis, and spatial filtering. You can create and manage feature layers and edit hosted or related tables directly in an Excel spreadsheet. Edits made to the fetched data will update the hosted layer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Is ArcGIS for Excel supported in disconnected environments?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n It is, for more information on the ArcGIS for Excel disconnected package, please contact your Esri Account manager.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Do Geocoding and ArcGIS Functions consume credits?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes.
