Any content that is shared with everyone can be searched by the public. If you want users to be able to navigate to your org url and browse your gallery, make sure anonymous access is disabled on your organization: Configure security settings—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS  This allows users who have not signed in (anonymous) to navigate and browse public content in your organization.

Hi Thomas, Can you get a support case created to look into this further? I'm not sure I quite understand the workflow so I think it will be best to get someone to work directly with you. Thomas Edghill‌ ... View more

I just downloaded and uploaded this layer. The data mentioned by Stephanie is a File Geodatabase and not a shape file. That being said, I couldn't publish this as a File Geodatabase either. Could you get a support case created to look into this specific dataset? Thanks, Kelly ... View more

Hi, The links seem to work for me. Can you check again? This workflow is only available with through the UI with ArcGIS Enterprise. The REST API calls for replace service is available with ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Online: Replace Service—ArcGIS REST API: Users, groups, and content | ArcGIS for Developers  This would be the recommended workflow for performing this swap in ArcGIS Online. The addition of this workflow for the UI of ArcGIS Online is planned for a future release of ArcGIS Online. Thanks, Kelly ... View more

Thanks for your feedback Vanessa, Currently you can create a feature layer view and disable attachments from the view: Manage hosted feature layers—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS  We are working on some additional Arcade tools in the future to interact with attachments in a future release. -Kelly ...

Hi Simon, Thanks for your reply. This is something that we will continue to consider so your feedback is much appreciated. Would you be able to share some of the specifics where you are experiencing gaps between the flexibility, storage and delivery between vector tiles and feature layers? As feature layers are delivered from data, there is more flexibility in styling and accessing different features within the database that don't require pre-generating the tiles. The team is open to continuing this discussion so please continue to let us know your thoughts, specific examples are really helpful when digging into the differences and needs with Vector tiles and feature layers. Thanks, Kelly ... View more

Hi Richard, Thanks for your feedback Richard. Are you able to share or describe your data? Does it display slowly as a hosted feature layer? The changes made to feature layers should be able to support more than 20K features and can generally render complex geometry but there are some cases (millions of vertices) where it's more performant to create a tile layer. The other benefit of feature layers is that the layer is rendered from the data and doesn't require a rebuild of tiles when the data updates. Feel free to reach out to me directly or on this post with your data or your hosted layer so that we can understand where you are running into slowness with your specific data. -Kelly ... View more

Thanks for your input and feedback about the need to include Pop-Ups with Vector Tile Layers. Our roadmap for this request has changed since my previous post, so I have now updated the status of this idea and have some additional details about our direction for this feature moving forward. Over 2017-2018 and continuing into 2019 many improvements have been made hosted feature layers making them to be more performant, flexibly styled and drawn from dynamic (live) features. For this reason, we recommend using hosted feature layers as operational layers for visualization of large datasets that include popups and client-side interactivity.  The benefit with this approach is that you don’t have to create a secondary visualization layer like vector tiles or raster tiles.  We continue to recommend using Vector Tile layers for use as basemaps but do not plan to focus development work to have them reach parity with feature layers and raster tiles that are used for operational layers ( pop-ups). We are interested still considering this idea and are listening for feedback, especially about workflows that require Vector Tile layers as operational layers. Updates to Hosted Feature Layers: 1. Hosted Feature Layer efficiently retrieved data from ArcGIS Online hosted feature services using feature tiles. For ArcGIS Online hosted feature layers, the feature tiles are quickly returned and the responses are for fast querying and display tons of data drawn from live data. 2. The support for .pbf format in requests has resulted in reduced data size for feature tile requests. This is the same delivery mechanism for Vector Tiles 3. The Javascript API rendering engine has been updated to render all feature layers in WebGL. This enables fast client side rendering and dynamic updates as styles are changed.    *Note WebGL is currently not supported in WAB, Story Maps and Operations Dashboard but will be supported in future updates. In the event that operational data is drawing slowly or inefficiently due to the amount of data or complexity, we do recommend using raster tile layers to assist in drawing the data at small scales as outlined in these blogs: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/js-api-arcgis/mapping/render-millions-of-features-in-your-maps/ https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/data-management/mapping/strategies-to-effectively-display-large-amounts-of-data-in-web-apps/  https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/data-management/data-management/scalable-hosted-feature-layers-in-arcgis-online-tile-queries-and-response-caching/   Thanks again for your feedback and please continue to let us know your thoughts, -Kelly ...

Hi Sam, As a best practice we promote sharing web maps, apps and supporting items with the same groups so that users who can access the map can also access the underlying layers. It's generally a confusing User experience when someone opens a map but can't see the layers. For this reason we recommend that if you are sharing with a group to provide access to content (security) all the content is shared with the appropriate people. This is the reason that you are prompted to update the sharing on the layers when they mismatch with the web map. Many of these scenarios are outlined in this blog: Managing Security and Findability of Items with the ArcGIS Sharing Model  If you are looking to have different users edit and view a layer from the same source, I would recommend using feature layer views and create two web maps. One map for editing which contains an editable feature layer view and is shared with your view audience. Create another map with a view only feature layer view and share it with your viewing audience. This way editors will be able to edit the data and viewers will be able to see the updated data without having the capability to edit. If you are able to see the layers and they aren't shared with the specific group that the web map is shared with there may be a few reasons for this.  1. You own the layers (you will always be able to see layers that you own regardless of sharing settings) 2. You are an administrator or have the administrative privilege to view others items. This also enables you to view organization content that hasn't been shared with you. 3. The layers are shared with another group that you have access to, enabling you to view the layers due to the security of another groups If you seem to be viewing the layers that you shouldn't have access to and it doesn't fall into one of the above scenarios, get in contact with support as that is not the expected behaviour.

You can specify the size of symbols and the range in change styles.  This is outlined in this story map (about 75% way through)  https://www.arcgis.com/apps/Cascade/index.html?appid=cc8ed7ffcd5a4e329cdc552d6856abe4  Or on this help page: Style numbers—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS  I'd suggest starting by setting your minimum size for the lowest priority and something reasonable for the highest priority. -Kelly ...

Hi Doug, Something to try may be to use Arcade or the join tool. Visualizing related data with Join Features in ArcGIS Online  What’s new with Arcade: Taking a stroll through FeatureSets (Part 2)  If this seems to not be working as expected, try getting in touch with tech support. -Kelly ...
