I have a shape file that I have been editing (adding to) on my local machine. I have uploaded the shape file to an esri online map. I'd like to be able to re-upload my new shape file so it updates the content that I already have online. Can you tell me how to do this? Thanks
So you can't use PRO to update the feature.
You have to upload again the zipped shp as Robert LeClair suggested in the first comment.
But remember, if you delete the old one and upload the one in your machine you have to make sure that you haven't done separated updates online and offline.
Otherwise you will lose what is already online.
If so, download the one online, merge with the one offline (checking for duplicate of course) and upload it again.
Hope it make sense.
Mine ends w/ groups and content. There is not an option on the right side of it.
So, I believe you are using a public account.
And you cannot overwrite a feature service with that. Only import a shp
Do you have the "Organisation" tab in your AGOL?
It is on top, next to "Groups" and "Content"
I don’t’ have anything below my personal info.
Intern is a Role I've created for the student that come here for an internship, (it's like a group)
On ArcGIS Online, go to your name on the right, "My profile" ---> scroll below your personal info, your should see something like this.
Do you have it or it is blank?
Sounds like I’m getting closer….How do I change from intern to creator?

Hi Mike Henson,
I don't think the issue is related to the "Publisher" extension in your PRO but likely to your ArcGIS account type.
There are 2 type of AGOL Account:
1. Public Account: You can't publish from PRO
2. Organizational account:
you must be Level 2 - Creator.
If you are creator but still you can't publish it probably means that your administrator revoked this functionality, you can ask to grant it for you by modifying your role.
If I login with the account I am writing right now, I get the same Warning as yours because is a Public account.
With my Organizational account, I publish content without any problem.
Hope it helps.

Thx for the update Mike. Now I'm tracking with your workflow. The attached screenshot did not come through unfortunately. Is your AGP a Home Use program or are you using from your employer? The reason I ask is I wonder if you have the necessary publishing rights with your license. That could explain what's happening.
Thanks Robert for the reply, and sorry for the confusion…here’s whats happening:
Orignially I create a map using Arcgis online, uploaded my zipped shape files for my personal data.
I have since loaded Arcgis pro, created a new map on my local machine, and now want to create a web map for sharing. When I select the “web” button, is when I get the error message. I have attached a screenshot of my licensing page.
In re-reading this thread, are you using ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro to publish the feature layer to AGOL? Or are you strictly using AGOL for all the work? I wonder if you're a Level 1 user which could prevent publishing layers to AGOL.
Robert....I have done your steps above, and since tried to save a web map. I am getting an error stating "your account doesn't have publishing privleges. Am i supposed to have the publishing extension? Previously I created maps online and just uploaded shape files. (as in my original message) I'm so confused now.

Are you using ArcGIS Pro at all or strictly ArcGIS Online?
The reason is because when I add a layer, my option is to upload a shape from my computer. What are my other options?
Just a thought, but you could go to your ArcGIS Online account (Content), delete the old zipped up shapefile and then upload the new zipped up shapefile with the same name as your old zipped up shapefile.
If you use ArcGIS Pro, you can create a (hosted) feature layer and then when the time comes to update the feature layer, you can overwrite the feature layer.
Why are you using zipped up shapefiles just out of curiousity?
