Add and manage content

Adding, managing, and sharing content are important functions of sites. Visitors can search and view content that has been added to a catalog. Editors can configure a content catalog using filters and collections to create custom groupings.

After a catalog is configured, you can create items and add them directly to the catalog. You can also add existing ArcGIS Online items, and upload content or create applications in ArcGIS Online. ArcGIS Hub Premium editors can build catalogs of content and events for initiatives and projects.

To configure or add content (or events) to a catalog, you must be an ArcGIS Online administrator, the owner, or a member of a group with edit access (shared update group).

Add existing content

You can add content from ArcGIS Online to the content or event catalog of a site, initiative, or project (for which you have edit permissions). This includes ArcGIS Online content created by you or members of your organization and the public. After a catalog is configured, add content from within the relevant workspace or from the view of the initiative or project.

You must register services with ArcGIS Online to add them to a site's content catalog.

Note:

Consider verifying with the content owner before sharing. You can change sharing permissions if you are the content owner, if the content is shared with one of your edit groups, or if you have administrative privileges. Any private content (for example, that is shared only with you, one of your edit groups, or your organization) added to a catalog, is not visible to people with whom the content is not shared.

To add existing ArcGIS Online content to a catalog, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Hub.
2. In your user workspace, select the Content pane.

   If needed, select your user profile and select View workspace to open your user workspace.

3. Select the Manage button next to the site, initiative, or project to open the relevant workspace.
4. Select Catalog and select the Content pane to add existing content to the catalog. Select the Events pane to add existing events to the catalog.

   Alternatively, open the view of an initiative or project with a configured catalog and select the Content tab.

5. Select the Add content or Add event button. Choose Select existing content or Add existing events.
6. Select items and select Next. Select a group to contain the items; groups available are those that this catalog is configured to include. Select Add content or Add events.

Upload content or create an application

You can add files as items or create applications (apps) in ArcGIS Online to be included in the content catalog of a site, initiative, or project (if you have edit permissions). After a catalog is configured, add items from the relevant workspace or the view of the initiative or project. See a list of supported file types for upload.

To add files as items or create apps in ArcGIS Online outside of a configured catalog, from the global navigation header, select the Create button and choose Other content.

Note:

Item types such as map and image services must be directly uploaded to ArcGIS Online. Refer to Add existing content for instructions on adding these items to a catalog.

To upload files or create apps in ArcGIS Online, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Hub.
2. In your user workspace, select the Content pane.

   If needed, select your user profile and select View workspace to open your user workspace.

3. Select the Manage button next to the site, initiative, or project to open the relevant workspace.
4. Select Catalog and select the Content pane to add items to the content catalog.

   Alternatively, open the view of an initiative or project with a configured catalog and select the Content tab.

5. Select the Add content button and choose Other content.
6. Follow the steps to Add files as items or to Create an app from the content page in ArcGIS Online. Share the item with a group that contains content for the catalog.

   Note:

   If you configured an app, follow the steps in Display apps, data, and web maps to add content to a site or page layout.

Create content from a template

You can browse and create content from app templates in ArcGIS Hub, including surveys, pages, dashboards, web apps and experiences, story maps, and solutions.

To create content from a template, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Hub.
2. In your user workspace, select the Content pane.

5. Search and filter the gallery to browse templates.
6. Select Activate to create content from a template. Optionally, select groups to connect to the content.

   Note:

7. Select Activate.
8. Depending on the type of content, the app's editor or the page editor opens and you can configure the content.
