The source service from ACLED used in that map has not been accessible in Living Atlas due to a change in ACLED's terms of access. This impacts all ACLED-sourced Living Atlas items: https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/en/browse/?q=acled#d=2&q=acled Living Atlas members are working through the process of re-establishing availability. At this point it is uncertain when, or if, those will be brought back online again.

A new Imagery Transition Basemap is now available as a prototype multi-scale basemap for the world. Designed by Andy Skinner, it's intended to transition into imagery at large scales - zoom in with a design intended to blend into Imagery at large scales. Open Imagery Transition basemap The map includes vector tile layers, so you can customize the map to change its content and symbology. The map and associated layers can be found in the Creative Vector Tile Layers and Web Maps group. See the Vector Basemap group for other vector web maps. For more information, see Imagery Fade-in.

Wildfire Aware is the newest app in the Living Atlas collection, designed to allow users to dynamically view information about wildfire and their potential impacts. The app helps answer questions such as: Where is the fire and how big is it? Have there been fires in this area in the past? What is the weather like where the fire is located? Are there people or towns nearby? What ecosystem and vegetation types are in the area? What is the potential environmental impact? Leveraging ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Living Atlas, ArcGIS Pro, and ArcGIS API for JavaScript, the team behind the app goes into details about its construction and thinking in Wildfire Aware App Design and Implementation.

The list of apps I describe above are the JS API 4.x ones and will all support the new blending, effects, etc. A widely used app builder that is not JS API 4.x is Web AppBuilder. If you are using WAB, or if your organization has created custom app templates with WAB, those will not support the new capabilities.

You are correct, a shapefile is not a web-publishable format but you can create a feature layer using one. An advantage to keeping the shapefile in the ArcGIS Online workflow is that you can update the hosted feature layer with a new shapefile should it change.

I can't tell what "webmap app" you are using, but the thing to remember is that these blending and effects capabilities are only supported in the new Map Viewer (not Map Viewer Classic) and only in the newer apps (since they all share the underlying latest JSAPI 4.x). For example, you map will work just in Instant Apps, Experience Builder, ArcGIS Dashboards, and ArcGIS StoryMaps but the effects/blending and group layers are not supported in older configurable apps or in Web AppBuilder. Here's a quick test case using the Basic Instant App: Camp Fire Focus (Destination In) - Basic Viewer (arcgis.com)

Looking at your screen capture, it seems you are trying to change the name of your ArcGIS Online orgainzation via My Esri. To change the name of your organization you should: 0. Sign in to your ArcGIS Online organization. If you can't remember the URL, just go to arcgis.com/home and sign in with your organization account. 1. Open the Organization tab at top. 2. As administrator, click the Settings tab 3. Go to the General section 4. Edit the name.

I assume you are publishing shapefiles from ArcGIS Pro given your description above. When publishing from Pro, it may be advantageous to keep the service definition around if you want to make future changes. Frankly speaking, if I'm going to publish a shapefile as a hosted feature layer I skip Pro and just do it directly from ArcGIS Online. Your workflow and organizational procedures will dictate the appropriate workflow for you.

The above said, I know _nothing_ about student versions and any special considerations you might need to think about with your student version. I'd recommend contacting your University administrator to check into any other considerations you might need to think about. Plus, many "student versions" are regularly purged after your classes are over - another reason to check with your University site administrator.

There are a couple of things that you can consider, one is a minor update the other has more significant implications. To change the name of your organization, you can go to Settings > General and change the name of your organization. This is easy and low-overhead, all you are doing is changing the name - not the URLs to your content. The other option is to change the URL to your organization and its content. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/faq.htm#SHORT_NAME This is a lot more problematical as it potentially impacts anything you've publicly shared. I've done this twice in organizations with not a great deal of content, and it still required a significant amount of post-change curation. Name is easy and without significant implications, shortcut not so much. So I'd recommend if you just want to change the name to do the former, not the latter. Bern

ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World provides foundation elevation layers and tools to support analysis and visualization across the ArcGIS system. These layers get updated quarterly with high resolution elevation data from federal agencies, open sources, and the Community Maps Program. This recent blog article by @RajinderNagi details the latest improvements and updates to elevation layers and tools.

See if this example is what you are after: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=398294b197dc4daf814ce9061950eae7 If it is, it's covered in the Apply local focus to Living Atlas content using blending and effects blog article in the Use blending with duplicate layers and effects section. While the title might make is seem it covers Living Atlas content, you can of course apply those same techniques to any of your maps/layers.

Arcade is an expression language that is supported across ArcGIS. It can be used to perform calculations, manipulate text, and evaluate logical statements. Arcade exists within a profile, or context, that defines the parameters that are available to the script as global inputs and the output expected from the script. This blog article focuses only on the Popups profile and offers an overview of how it is used to craft layer pop-ups. Arcade in pop-ups can be used in two ways; to create attribute expressions used in text elements that can be evaluated like fields, or as separate Arcade content elements that return a complete block of content. Using Arcade expressions and elements, you can take your pop-ups to the next level. Pop-ups: the essentials provides an overview of pop-ups and how they can be configured. For more information on using Arcade expressions and content elements, see Pop-ups: Arcade essentials.

You're currently displaying the default for a pop-up which is the list of fields. You could just create a text block to display what you want. For the hyperlink, you can use any words and then add the link. These blog articles might help you get started. Pop-ups: text element essentials Pop-ups: the essentials
