Creating Authoritative Content in ArcGIS Online
A Review of Best Practices
Empowering end-users to be able to author content on the web is one of the best tools at their disposal. But how many times have you received a call or email from a user trying to figure out where a certain layer is, or which layer is the correct one?
Preparing web layers that are authoritative prior to content creation is crucial. This often overseen step allows for a seamless experience in the content creation process. This Story Map will cover organization verification, thumbnails, symbology, using ArcGIS Arcade in visualization, categories, metadata and more!
The Problem...
How do I know which layer is the right one?
