Publish referenced layer with symbology or set symbology in Web Maps?

[MrRamonG]

For Portal and or Pro best practices, is it better to publish a referenced layer, from Pro to Portal with complex symbology set in Pro, or publish the layer with simple symbology and set the complex symbology in Web Maps?

You can do whatever you want but I almost always set it in Pro first personally. Just make sure to check that the symbology is compatible will all clients, otherwise it might not show correctly in all apps. I just feel like modifying symbology is easier for me in Pro.

Thank you @Laura , I appreciate your input. I know I can take which ever approach I want, but I was wondering which would be the best approach, particularly when it comes to performance. However, I am beginning to think it doesn't really matter as any symbology created and published from Pro is replicated in Portal > Web Maps. So either you publish with symbology or create symbology in Portal Web Maps, either way, the symbology will exist in Portal.

Thanks again!
