What's new

The June 2024 update includes a new recycle bin for deleted items, updated user types, and the launch of ArcGIS Web Editor, along with other enhancements and new functionality throughout the ArcGIS Online website. Highlights are provided below. For more information, see the What's new in ArcGIS Online blog article.

Recycle bin

A new setting for organizations allows administrators to control whether supported deleted items are held in a recycle bin for 14 days (336 hours) before being permanently deleted from the organization. The recycle bin gives item owners and administrators a window of time to access and restore items that may have been deleted in error. In addition, administrators can use the enhanced item report to keep track of which items are in the recycle bin.

Maps

• You can now open and edit a map in ArcGIS Web Editor, a modern data editing application in ArcGIS Online.
• You can now calculate field values in Map Viewer from the table of a hosted feature layer or hosted table layer.
• When working in Map Viewer, you can now add and delete fields from the Fields pane.
• You can now access the Editor pane from the table to add, update, or delete features and records.
• If there are related records associated with a layer, you can now view these in the attribute table.
• You can work with catalog layers in Map Viewer. Catalog layers point to different items and services, providing a centralized reference point for all of your data that can be distributed and accessed efficiently.
• When styling layers in Map Viewer, the new Reference size theme allows you to visualize values in relation to one another using a bounding outline for reference.
• When customizing labels, you can now adjust the position for labels along lines. You can also set the label background transparency and the background outline color and size.
• There is now additional support for applying filters to time-based fields, including configuring time on date (date and time) fields, filtering for time only fields, and applying relative-date conditions on date only fields. Relative-date conditions can now be applied to ArcGIS Server feature layers (version 10.9.1 or later) in addition to hosted feature layers.
• When clustering and binning data, you can now author a custom Arcade expression when adding a field. This can be used to style, label, and filter aggregated data.
• Printing in Map Viewer includes an enhanced user experience. You can now preview the map extent that will be printed. This helps ensure that the area of the map you want printed is included in the exported map or layout.
• Custom print layout templates that have been published as items to ArcGIS Online can be shared with a layout template group (beta) without configuring a print service. These templates can be used to print maps in Map Viewer.
• Box plots in a series now support mean lines when the series uses a Split by field.
• Map Viewer includes improved support for multidimensional imagery layers. You can now configure multidimensional imagery layers with multiple nontime dimensions. In addition, the dimension slider can be used to animate all slices along each nontime dimension one at a time.
• You can now resample an imagery layer by selecting a Resampling type. This allows you to control how the imagery layer is visualized on the map.

Scenes

• Explore and visualize time-enabled 2D and 3D layers with the time slider.
• Set a visible time period for a layer to combine different datasets into one continuous time story.
• Uploading 3D models comes out of beta and now also allows coordinate inputs while editing.
• Give your data the correct elevation using feature attributes and Arcade expressions.
• Create a 3D dashboard directly from Scene Viewer.
• Browse large layer collections with the new catalog layer.
• Add an existing media layer to your scene.
• Improved lighting and overall appearance of integrated mesh layers (scene and 3D tiles) through shading.

For more information on what's new in 3D, see the What's new in Scene Viewer blog article.

Sharing and collaboration

• When content is shared with collaboration participants in a distributed collaboration, the item and sublayer metadata are also shared. Only the sending organization can make edits to the metadata, and these edits can only be shared with collaboration participants.

App configuration

• Four new widgets are available in ArcGIS Experience Builder: Building Explorer, Feature Report, Measurement, and My Location (beta). Other enhancements include an inset locator map tool for the Map widget, support for raster data, and support for viewing related records. You can also now connect an Experience Builder app to Google Analytics. For more information, see What's new in Experience Builder.
• ArcGIS Instant Apps has a new app template and several updates. The new Reporter template allows end users to report incidents, collect feedback, and interact with existing reports. New capabilities, including the ability in Atlas to open maps in other apps (such as ArcGIS StoryMaps), have also been added. For more information, see What's new in Instant Apps.
• ArcGIS Dashboards includes several updates. Dashboard authors can now update attributes of features within a dashboard. When the layer has editing (update) enabled and the user has the privilege to edit features, they can click "edit" on a row of a table or popup header. Authors now have the option to select new themes or create a customized theme with new color and styling options for their dashboard design. In addition, authors can now select features interactively from a web scene, triggering actions upon clicking the features. For more information, see What's new in ArcGIS Dashboards.

Content management

• Web map settings are improved to help you properly configure maps and their contents for offline use. The Check Compatibility window provides messages to help you identify and correct problems that would prevent you from using the map and its layers in offline workflows.
• Hosted feature layers can now store true curve features. You can control whether these features are editable and, if so, whether editing is restricted to only those clients that can edit them without overwriting them with features that aren't true curves. See Manage hosted feature layer editing for information about these settings.
• Date only, time only, and timestamp offset field types are now recognized when you publish, add to, or update hosted feature layers from Microsoft Excel, comma-separated values (CSV), and GeoJSON files. See Date and time fields in ArcGIS Online to learn what formats are supported for each. Big integer field types are also recognized when using these file types to publish, add to, or update hosted feature layers if the field values fall outside the range of -2147483648 to 2147483647.
• Creating hosted imagery layers in ArcGIS Online is now available for members assigned the Creator user type and who are members of a role that has privileges to create content and publish hosted imagery layers.
• Hosted imagery layer items now include text to indicate whether the imagery layer has a collection or multidimensional type attributes.
• An additional credential option—an API key—is available when you add an app with developer credentials to the organization.

Notebooks

• Notebook authors with Publish web tools privileges can now publish notebooks as web tools.
• New versions of ArcGIS API for Python, ArcPy, and Python libraries are now available in the notebook runtimes.

Spatial analysis

• Custom web tools are now available in Map Viewer. Custom web tools are geoprocessing workflows that are published from ArcGIS Notebooks and hosted in ArcGIS Online as Tool items. Custom web tools are accessed from the Map Viewer Analysis pane.
• The Raster Function Templates tab is now available in the Analysis pane to create or modify existing raster function templates.
• Join Features now has the Calculate count only option for the Multiple matching records parameter. The Multiple matching records parameter determines which records or statistics are returned in a one-to-one join.
• Enrich Layer now has a Draw input features button that can be used to interactively create an input layer. Drawing input features creates a sketch layer that can be saved in the web map. The Draw input features button was introduced for several other analysis tools in the previous release.
• Zonal Statistics has four new options for the Statistics type parameter: Majority count, Majority percentage, Minority count, and Minority percentage.
• Zonal Statistics as Table has six new options for the Statistics type parameter: Majority count; Majority percentage; Majority value, count, and percentage; Minority count; Minority percentage; and Minority value, count, and percentage.
• Distance Accumulation and Distance Allocation have two new options for the Vertical factor parameter: Hiking time and Bidirectional hiking time. The performance of these tools has also been improved if the Distance method parameter value is Geodesic, or if the Vertical factor or Horizontal factor parameters are set.

Accounts and administration

• User types are changing to expand access to ArcGIS Online capabilities, apps, and content. For more information about the updated user types, see the User Types overview page.
• Credit reports now include information about storage credit usage, imagery analysis credit usage, and registered app usage.
• Licensing options for imagery hosting and analysis capabilities have changed. Creator, Professional, and Professional Plus user types include access to creating hosted imagery layers. Professional and Professional Plus user types include access for performing imagery analysis.
