    Layer details

    If the Layer details button isn't enabled, the selected layer does not have information accessible from ArcGIS.

    The ArcGIS details page for the layer opens in your default web browser. If you are viewing the details for a layer that is not shared publicly, you are prompted to log in to ArcGIS.
