How was the map image layer created?

My "Map Image Layers" were created in AGOL by adding "New Item" in my contents, then selecting a URL to use for the image layer (basically, a pointer to the mapservice URL). If I update the original data the URL points to, the Map Image Layer is updated.

Hello @EdgarR,

Don't know if you figured this out already but if you don't register the data with the Server you can set sddraft overwriteExistingService property to True before staging and uploading service definition. More info about this property here

This way the Map Image Layer will be overwritten. Take into account that all pop-up settings and configuration will be lost after overwriting it. So don't fortget to update your web map /app / etc.
