How to publish a tiled map service for Offline using a Tiled Package?

[EricDaniel]

I'm not seeing a way to publish a tiled map service for offline use if I go the tiled map package route vs. using credits going the direct publish route.  There is no Advanced button when creating a tiled map package that there is when publishing directly.  Am I missing something or is this not possible?

Hosted tiled services are currently do not support the export tile capability. You could generate a tpk in desktop and sideload it onto your device and when the app is launched you can use that sideloaded tpk when picking the extent to pull operational data offline.

Thanks for the reply Russ. Is it documented somewhere on how to do this in more detail.  I'm not totally sure how to sideload and where in Collector you can select the tpk file.

Here is some documentation on using your basemap for disconnected use:
