When users open the explore view in a Hub site, they see a map of the data locations. But new users don't always find the styling options, and just want to see the data symbolised on the map, to quickly see what it is.

It would be great if the style settings were automatically applied, based on the symbology settings of the feature service. This would save users the extra steps of finding and applying style settings.

This would be a very useful feature.

This would be very useful. Being able to see the symbology of feature service in the data portal and the ability to download KMLs with that symbology would be amazing.

This would be incredibly useful! Showing the feature service's symbology would make it easier for users to understand the data they're looking at, and create visual continuity (especially if they are looking for a feature service that they saw in an application).

We would LOVE this.
Symbology is maintained within the explore view if you publish your feature class as a web map with only one item inside of it, instead of as a web layer... but then users can't use the download button, which is sort of the whole point of our Hub site.
I also second @RyanHaines9 's thought. Maintaining the symbology not just within the viewer but also across the different download methods (wherever possible) would be great.
