Currently, we can create and store metadata for published feature layers in a map's properties. When we share the layer with Portal, all of that metadata gets copied into the metadata for the service and the item page gets that information automatically, However, there is no way to upload or reference a custom thumbnail in the map's metadata, so every time we have to overwrite a layer in Portal, we also have to go to the item page and re-upload the custom thumbnail. I would like to have a way to either store or reference the thumbnail within the Pro project and have it auto-upload when a service publishes.

Hi Amy, 

You can update to a custom thumbnail by opening the Catalog view > select the map of interest > on the manage ribbon, in the Metadata section, click Edit.

Hope that helps. Please let us know if that doesn't meet your needs.

@SusanTran, that does help, thank you! It would be nice to have a button to do this in the Map Properties so that you don't have to dig into Catalog View, but this gets me close enough that I'm happy.
