Sychronize hosted featur layer with desktop feature layer

Hi there,

I think this a simple issue, but I want to be sure about it. I have created a feature layer in my desktop (Pro 3.3) and then published it to ArcGIS ONLINE with sync enabled. I have used this layer to create serveal apps like Dasboards, Webmaps and Field Maps.
I would like to make some changes in the layer on my desktop (new columns, updated values in some columns) and then syncronize those changes to hosted version, but I don't want to lose any configuration I have in my apps (Forms, Symbology, Filters, etc).
Which is the best way to do this? Should I used 'Download Map' button on Pro and make all changes and then sync? Or I just need to do the changes and go to Share tab and 'Overwrite Web Layer'.

Thanks all!

Hi @ALBERTOCASTELLOPEROSILLO,

You could do the latter, overwrite the feature layer, but you may be prohibited from doing so while Sync is enabled.

There is a third way! Just load the hosted feature in AGOL cloud in my ArcGIS Pro proyect and both are syncronized!

Thanks!
