How to replace a shapefile with more current data?

[GavinMcGhie]

Hi all
We've build a web map to show our active construction projects. It's simply a basemap and the construction layer which was added as a zipped shp. This latter layer will need to be updated on some schedule (i.e. monthly). Since I spent 20-30 minutes configuring the symbology, pop-ups, etc, I'm wondering if there is any way to simply replace the shp with a new one having more current data? Schema and all would remain exactly the same. All I can seem to do is add the new layer, reconfigure it again, and delete the old one. Ideally I want to hand the process off to the Engineer that owns the data, but it's a hard sell if he also has to configure it every time.
Thanks, Gavin

You stated publish data from desktop so assuming you have a subscription you don't need to delete or remove anything. just use the overwrite feature service when you need to publish updated layers. I do this daily without issues.
Also not sure what you mean by hold the original data online.

Just use the overwrite feature service when you need to publish updated layers.

Is that only possible in 10.1?

Most likely. I haven't had 10 in awhile so couldn't tell you what you can access with 10. if you're looking at using AGO with Desktop then you should probably upgrade to 10.1
