Does anyone recognize this behavior in this ArcGIS On Line map?  I haven't given my map anything to drink, I swear!  The yellow shaded layer has shifted west by 20 odd miles.  The problem will usually fix itself for a while if I zoom or pan.  Sometimes the borders will drop in latitude.  The problem hasn't occurred yet when I access the map without having signed into my ARC account.  I haven't monkeyed with the projection.  Thanks for any insight! ...

[Spoiler alert... I figured out what I was doing wrong.  I'll leave most of it in hopes that it helps debug someone else.] I'm trying to copy a big .GEOTIF file of population grids from ArcGIS Pro out to a tile package I can use in .  I'm trying to follow the docmentation that reads: Publish the GeoTIFF file as a tile service to ArcGIS Add the GeoTIFF file to ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro, create a tile service from the file, and publish the service to ArcGIS . The GeoTIFF file can be used in web maps or applications.  Build a tile package in ArcGIS Pro and upload to your organization Use the Create Map Tile Package geoprocessing tool to create a tile package, add the package to your organization, and publish a tile layer. 1) Open the project that contains the data you want to package. 2) Open and run the Create Map Tile Package geoprocessing tool. 3) When your tile package has finished generating... . But when I try to run the Create Map Tile Package geoprocessing tool in Pro, it failed. It took me a long time to realize that the tool was unhappy about my having a base layer as part of the map, even though it was deselected.  Once I removed it altogether, the tool ran fine.  P.S.  Have care in setting the "Detail level" count.   "Levels" are the various permissible zoom levels.  I set the detail level at 1 on my first try and got a layer that only displays when I look at my map from deep space.  I next set it to 20 (the max) and ran it, for the next couple of hours, until I gave up waiting and turned it off.  Thirteen layers worked well. ...

I have a map on ArcGIS On Line, with a popup displaying news items.  They must periodically be freshened from a Googlesheet that I maintain.  So far, I've been doing the updating by completely rebuilding and configuring a duplicate of my feature layer based on a fresh CSV version of the Googlesheet I use to track the news.  I post under a pseudonym so I can admit to that level of incompetence.   I spend a bunch of time doing boring stuff and risk screwing something up each time. But what is the smart way?  I can only find sledgehammer solutions or weak ones: - setting up my own ARC server where I can set up some sort of dynamic link, - learning Python and programming it to work with Arc Map to alter the feature layer service at the press of a button, - manually searching the attribute table and copying and pasting updates into the right rows, one by one, - manually making a duplicate of my feature layer, but with a new CSV file, cleaning out the old feature layer, and appending features from the new duplicate layer into the now empty (but properly configured) original layer.  Many thank to anyone who can save me with a smarter approach!   ...
