For content contributors, we have updated how content is added in Group views within ArcGIS Hub. This enhancement means that when viewing a group, the Add content button is relocated to its most useful place: within the Content tab. This results in a more unified gallery experience across Hub, bringing consistency, flexibility, and power to group-based collaboration. 

What changed 

Previously, the Add content button appeared above the navigation tabs in the Group view. While always visible, it was disconnected from the actual content gallery, making the user experience disjointed. 

With this update: 

  • The Add content button is now integrated directly inside the Content tab gallery, right where content is contributed and viewed. This gives clarity to all your contributors. 
  • The Group’s Content tab now uses the shared gallery component used throughout ArcGIS Hub, inheriting shared features.

Why it matters 

This enhancement introduces meaningful benefits for contributors and editors: 

  1. More layout options 
    The shared gallery brings flexible layouts (like Grid, List, Table, Map, Compact), allowing your users to customize how content is browsed. 
  2. Improved aesthetic sort controls 
    The appearance or styling of sort options is now aligned with other Hub galleries. More importantly, sort styling will continue to benefit from upcoming improvements. 
  3. A more powerful “Add content” workflow 
    The updated button now launches the full Add content experience used in other views, with options to create content.

Takeaway

This update is part of a broader effort to unify how content is added across ArcGIS Hub. By aligning the Group view with other gallery-driven views, content contributors now have a consistent and intuitive workflow no matter where they are working.
