Where is the Append data option in ArcGIS online?

[GISJess]

Was there a change to the option to append data? Is it now lumped under 'Update Data'? It's been a couple of months since I have appended data to an attribute table on the data tab on AGOL, but I don't see the option to append data anymore. 

Thanks!

Okay, I played with it, and it does seem that selecting Update then 'Add Features' is the new way to Append. When did this change?

This was updated in June 2023.

It appears there may have been a restructuring in the data options on AGOL, particularly regarding the appending of data. If it’s now categorized under 'Update Data', it could streamline processes, though it's frustrating when familiar features disappear. Speaking of adapting to change, I recently enjoyed playing Monkey Mart, where managing a store involves quick decisions—much like navigating AGOL's evolving interface! Both require staying on top of updates to succeed.
