Please add a built-in option in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise to quickly switch between the two environments. Currently, there is no direct navigation between an organization’s ArcGIS Enterprise Portal and ArcGIS Online. Many organizations use both ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Online. Staff often need to move between the two — for example, to share data, publish layers, or check related content.

This is frustrating for experienced GIS users and especially confusing for non-technical staff or external partners who aren’t familiar with the difference between the platforms. People often get lost, think they are in the wrong account, or can’t find the right content.
Positive outcomes of this needed change:
Saves time and clicks for staff working in both environments daily.
Reduces training and confusion for occasional users.
Improves adoption of GIS tools by making navigation intuitive.
Suggested Solution:
Add a simple “Switch to ArcGIS Online” / “Switch to ArcGIS Enterprise” button/icon in the header or user menu when signed in by their name at the top right of the page.
