ArcGIS Online: How to create shortcut link for “map viewer” in ArcGIS Online?
I couldn’t figure out if there is a way to create shortcut link for map viewer in ArcGIS Online as the one created by default is really long and not suitable for sharing.
If you click on "Share" within the map viewer, you can get a shorter URL to share the map.
Thank you Katherine for the help.
I observed that this link keeps changing. For example, if you generate this link and then pan the map, a new link will be created.
The reason it's changing is exactly because of the reason you stated, because you're changing the extent.
If you uncheck "Share current map extent", I believe the link should remain constant.
You are right. Unchecking “share current map extent” option keeps the link the same
However, the long links get back to appear for the map viewer as shown in the screenshot below
If you're just trying to share the link in a "cleaner" way through email or something, copy and paste the entire link into your email, then right click on it and choose edit hyperlink. You can then edit the text that the link will display, like this: WebMap
