What's new in ArcGIS tutorials Aug - September 2025
Flatten water bodies in surface models with water polygons
ArcGIS Reality Studio is used to generate outputs such as DSMs, True Orthos, and meshes from aerial imagery data. To learn more about the basic reality mapping workflow with ArcGIS Reality Studio, see Get started with ArcGIS Reality Studio.
In general, this highly automated process creates high-quality products that can be shared with stakeholders or used in other workflows. You may need to manually correct small deficiencies in reality mapping products. In this tutorial, you'll edit and refine reality mapping outputs to correct reconstruction artifacts. You'll define a region of interest, define water bodies and assign them constant heights.
Refine irregular surfaces with correction polygons
As a geospatial strategist working for the city of Frankfurt, you provide foundational content for the city's emergency response, planning, and maintenance efforts in the form of digital surface models (DSMs) and True Orthos. The city's quality standards state that objects in DSMs and True Orthos must have straight edges.

You may need to manually correct small deficiencies in reality mapping products. In this tutorial, you'll edit and refine reality mapping outputs to correct reconstruction artifacts. You'll define correction geometries to straighten and flatten an irregularity in the surface, and to straighten walls for a courtyard.
Repair a mesh with correction geometries
As a geospatial strategist working for the city of Frankfurt, you provide foundational content for the city's emergency response, planning, and maintenance efforts in the form of digital surface models (DSMs), True Orthos, and a 3D mesh. The city's quality standards state that 3D mesh buildings must be complete, with no holes.

Get started with the ArcGIS Survey123 web designer
You recently opened a food truck, Cilantro City Cafe, and want to collect information from your customers to find out how you're doing. In addition to asking questions about how they found the food and the service, you can ask questions to help you decide which channels to use for marketing, where most customers are finding your food truck, and more.
Get started with distributed collaboration
Distributed collaboration allows you to share content between two ArcGIS Enterprise organizations, or between ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Online organizations. This is useful for many workflows, including exposing ArcGIS Enterprise content to the public through ArcGIS Online and making data visible across different departments in an organization.
In this fictional scenario, you've recently been promoted to the head of GIS for the city of Moncton, Canada. The city has both ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise, and one of the first things you plan to do is to connect the two organizations so you can share content between them. For example, you must share a feature layer representing potholes from ArcGIS Enterprise to ArcGIS Online so the public can edit it. You also must share a feature layer from ArcGIS Online to ArcGIS Enterprise so people in both organizations can track response teams that have been deployed during emergencies.
In this tutorial, you'll create a distributed collaboration to connect the two organizations. You'll create two workspaces within the collaboration: one that shares feature layers as copies, and one that shares feature layers as references.
Get started with ArcGIS Knowledge
ArcGIS Knowledge allows you to create and model graphs that track complex ecosystems of real-world data through ArcGIS Enterprisewith ArcGIS Pro. These graphs, called knowledge graphs, are built with two types of information: entities (also known as nodes) and relationships (also known as edges or links).
In this tutorial, you're an agronomist for a midsized farm in Iowa who has just invested in ArcGIS Enterprise software. You want to understand the farm's role in the local food distribution supply chain to track disruptions and manage shipments. You'll create a knowledge graph to map your farm's suppliers and farm shipments. Then, you'll add the knowledge graph data to a link chart, which allows you to visualize entities and relationships both spatially and nonspatially, and edit its symbology. Finally, you'll track the path of a specific commodity, milled flour, through the link chart to your suppliers and distributors in response to crop yield issues through query processing.
