We use the ESRI World Imagery base map layer in a web mapping application. Is there any way to determine the date of an image? Specifically when were are in a large scale zoom level (say lower than 1:22,000)? ESRI's website indicates the imagery was updated in 2017, but I'm not sure if they mean every image was updated or bits and pieces here and there?

This helps a lot. Much easier than opening ArcMap (which I never use anymore) and importing the basemap for your project area just to use the "i" tool to find the capture date. I thought they were going to add this date into the ArcGIS Pro metadata but as far as I know they have not as of 1/29/2020.
