Problems publishing a hosted feature service using an ArcMap document

Hello,

I am trying to publish a hosted feature service using an ArcMap document. I am following the steps outlined in the ArcGIS.com online help: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgisonline/index.html?ESRISessionID=gcH3DU2twah6UqqQuaRC2B6nezWQ-cMGoOcB_nllMT-pP0-UOEZh9vRPWOVUA87sxa8=#/Publishing_a_hosted_feature_service_using_an_ArcMap_document/010q00000087000000/

I have an ArcGIS Online organizational account (I am the Administrator) and I am running ArcMap 10.1 (Advanced). I go through steps 1 through 3 with no problem, I am signed on to ArcGIS.com. When I get to step 4 (Click File > Share As > Service.), I cannot choose "Service", as it is greyed out.

Any ideas why I can't publish this way?

Thanks,

Are you in layout view? Make sure you're in data view. Is the Service option still greyed out?

That did the trick! I didn't see that in the documentation. If it isn't there, it should be.

Thank you very much for the quick response!!
