Using Desktop to create an offline map

Question

Hello

I was reading through the articles and I didn't see a step by step guide to how to accomplish this task. I essentially want to use desktop or Pro to create a map with a shapefile that can be updated in collector or explorer. Is this even possible?

Thanks!

If you want to create a Mobile Map Package to use in Explorer for ArcGIS, this article is a good starting point https://community.esri.com/community/gis/applications/arcgis-pro/blog/2018/01/20/use-arcgis-pro-21-to-make-an-offline-map

For Collector offline options are documented here https://doc.arcgis.com/en/collector/ipad/help/offline-prep.htm
