  4. Hover over a solution and click View Details to learn more about it. When you decide to deploy a solution, click Get Now or Deploy Now.

    Tip:

The ArcGIS Solutions app creates all the ArcGIS items included with the solution and adds them to a new folder in your content. The app also creates a solution item that summarizes the content included and shows the relationship between items. The solution item will have an ArcGIS Solution badge signifying that it is an Esri supported solution.
