Hello,

I am planning on making some edits to a web app that was created for work, but I am wanting to make a copy of the Web Map that was used so that I can test my changes out and play around a bit before I move forward with the changes to the main copy. If I were to make changes to the copy that I make, will it reflect on the main file? If so, How can I prevent this? How would I move forward to make a copy without harming the main Web Map. Thank you!

Hi @Allison1 ,

First let's break down what we're attempting to do:

  • We have a web application that contains a web map:
    • What type of web app is this? (e.g. ArcGIS Experience Builder? ArcGIS Dashboards? ArcGIS Web AppBuilder?)
  • You're looking to create a copy of the web map:
    • Can you open the web map in Map Viewer and use 'Save As' to save a copy of it to your own content?
  • What changes are you looking to make to the web map?
  • Also, are we working in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise portal?
