Not really - it just seems easier for me to publish to our existing SDE
than via Portal. Actually it's probably harder but I'm used to this and
then I can manage the data locally. However I may have made a false
assumption that I can get at the data via sync and offline use. Seems like
that's not how this works.
I did change the name of the feature class but it didn't make any
difference. There is nothing in the map this was added to that indicates a
setting for tracking.
