I've saved a markup layer from Field Maps to ArcGIS Online - It's there in my content.  But is it possible to add this markup layer  to a map in mapviewer in ArcGIS Online?  When I try to add the layer - map viewer doesn't see it. 

Also when I go to the Markup Layer overview - it only gives the option to open it in Map Viewer Classic. 

Seems strange not to have the functionality of opening a Markup in Map View online.

Thanks.

Thank you, not sure how that works?  I don't have the option to add to new map. 

Only the following:

Open in Map Viewer Classic

ArcGIS online doesn't seem to see Markup Layers - is it designed this way - surely not?

What role/privileges does your user account have? If you are not signed into ArcGIS Online or don't have the privilges to create maps, this may be why. I don't see the option to open in the new map viewer if I'm not signed in. Not sure why you may need a Publisher/Creator role for this but that may explain it.

I also have this issue, I have tried to add a markup layer into an exiting map with no luck. Have you found a resolution to this yet?

I have the same issue. I can add a markup layer to a map only if I open the map in Map Viewer Classic. Seems like the new Map Viewer just still does not have the functionality of managing markup layers.

But if you add the markup layer to the map in the classic viewer, save the map and open it with the new viewer, then the markup layer is there as well. So that is the workaround.

Yeah this is certainly a confusing one and looks like maybe an accident in ArcGIS Online development or maybe a hint at what we'll see in an upcoming release.

I think the confusion here is that you can add markup layers to Map Viewer via the 'Content' tab:

But if you open up a web map in Map Viewer, you can't browse and find markup layers to add in... It can only be done via the method in the screenshot above ^

And as mentioned by @RM5 , the item Overview only shows the option to 'Open in Map Viewer Classic'...

I'm going to re-open the defect record for this and will make mention of it here.
