When I select a layer in the Contents and click on the "New Web Layer" button in the Share As category in the Share ribbon, Analyze says I have warnings because of the basemap. However, I don't care about the basemap; I intentionally selected the layer because I only want to share the layer.

When I right-click on the layer and click on the "Share As Web Layer" menu item, I get a different panel named "Sharing selected layer as a web layer" that correctly populates the Name and does not complain about the basemap.

However, there is no way to get to the correctly-working user interface from the ribbon.

Please add this hidden feature to the main ribbon to make it more discoverable. Menus (Design basics) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Docs  says that items in the context menu should be redundant with the main UI.

Hi Zian,

Thanks for your feedback. In terms of design, I think we wanted to limit the confusion between the share web layer options. However, feel free to submit your comments to https://community.esri.com/community/arcgis-ideas
