Best Practices for Updating Attachments in a Geodatabase That Changes Daily

Question

Hello,

I have created a geodatabase that stores images as attachments, which are displayed in the pop-ups of a feature.

However, since these images are updated daily, I need a way to automatically refresh the attachments in the geodatabase to reflect the changes. Ideally, this process would involve accessing the image folder daily, updating the attachments in the geodatabase, and ensuring the pop-ups display the latest images.

I have automated the process of generating images and saving them to the folder using Python. However, I am unsure how to automate updating the attachments in ArcGIS Pro and the corresponding pop-ups. It seems like I might need to delete all the existing attachments and reload them each time, from what I have read here

Does anyone have suggestions or ideas on how to automate this routine efficiently?

The pop-up doesn't show the image:

Does ArcGIS Online support UNC paths as hyperlinks?

You'll have to host them online if you want them to be accessible from AGOL. AGOL can't see items on your computer.
