What’s new in ArcGIS Online 2023

ArcGIS Online lets you understand the world around you by using interactive maps to connect people, locations, and data. You get smart, data-driven styles and intuitive analysis tools that deliver location intelligence. You can use it as a complete, cloud-based solution or to extend and complement the capabilities of ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise.

The February 2023 update includes new functionality in Map Viewer, such as spatial analysis tools, plus other enhancements, and new capabilities throughout the ArcGIS Online website. Highlights are provided below.

Map Viewer

Map Viewer is the premier way to author, explore, and edit web maps.

With this update, Map Viewer has been enhanced with new capabilities and features, including the following:

New analysis experience

Spatial analysis tools allow you to quantify patterns and understand relationships in your data. Most of the feature and raster analysis tools you’ve been using in Map Viewer Classic, plus a few new ones, are now available in Map Viewer.

 

ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online

ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online is a complete software as a service (SaaS) extension for hosting, visualizing, analyzing, and sharing imagery. In this release, ArcGIS Image users will see 24 raster analysis tools added to Map Viewer.

Media layer 

A new media layer is introduced. Adding a media layer enables you to select a .jpg or .png image file that will be added to your map. Use the tools to position and rotate the image to place it in the desired location.

Upload image symbols

You can now upload .gif, .jpg, and .png images to use as symbols when styling your layer or creating a sketch in Map Viewer

 

ArcGIS Instant Apps
