Hello,
I recently made changes to labels in a hosted feature service and rewording of questions and addition of arcade calculations in a form in Map Viewer. The field team are all using this map when out in the field, however I noticed there were two kinds of outputs. Some of the answers were coming in as the original version and some of the data was coming in using the new labels and applying the arcade calculations I made. The team uses this map connected to data, but also sometimes offline so I have managed offline areas for them.
This led me to wonder about managed offline areas - What exactly is happening during the recreate area process?
To ensure everyone on the team is using the most recent version of this map what do I need to do? Tell them to click the three dots and "Reload map"? Do I need to "Update" the offline managed area in Field Maps Designer? The info/warning in Field Maps Designer suggests you should click "update" when a layer or field is added or removed. In this case no layers were removed. No fields were removed, however field labels and dropdown list labels were changed and arcade calculations added to a few form questions.
I didn't want to try "Update" yet as the team is in the field everyday and some of them are a bit lax about syncing their data, so didn't want to risk losing any data. I don't know if "Update" would do this? I also didn't want to delete and "Recreate" a new area again in case that led to data loss.
Thanks in advance for your help.
