Ungroup TileLayer in Map Viewer ?

AlixCL — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 12:59:31 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am working on a web map in Map Viewer that contains a large number of layers, including Feature Layers and Tile Layers. This requires organizing all these layers using groups and subgroups. For Feature Layers, there is no issue — I can move them wherever I want. However, for Tile Layers, it is more complicated.

Above is a Tile Layer called “Carte du Rhône de Avignon à Lapalud (1834)”, which consists of a mosaic named “Archives_Nationales_1834”.

I am wondering why it is not possible to move the mosaic outside of its original group, as can be done with Feature Layers ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @AlixCL,

I hope you are doing well.

I don't think what you are trying to achieve is possible because Tile layers are essentially "pre‑made" image caches.

ArcGIS Enterprise treats the published tile layer as a single layer, not a container of separate elements that the Map Viewer could ungroup.

Regards,

Glen

Hi Glen,

Thank you for your reply.

What you describe is probably the cause of my issue.

It may be necessary to publish the raster in another format in order to manipulate it more freely.

I will update this post if I find an alternative in the future!
