Recent ArcGIS Hub updates (April 2026 to June 2026) include enhancements and new functionality throughout the software such as ArcGIS Hub assistant (beta) search agent availability for anonymous users, several enhancements to events, and the ability to subscribe to discussions.
June updates
Highlights are listed below:
- Site administrators can enable anonymous public access to the ArcGIS Hub assistant (beta) search agent. When enabled, site visitors can access the search agent without signing in to ArcGIS Online.
- Site administrators can provide a unique name for a site's search agent.
- The following enhancements are available for events:
- You can upload an image to an event thumbnail. Supported file types are .jpg, .png, and .gif.
- A gallery of events in a Calendar layout option displays a calendar without an event grid.
- Classic events are retired and can no longer be edited. If edits are required to a classic event card, you must create a new event card and delete the old one.
- You can subscribe to discussions to receive weekly email updates on new posts and replies.
- The wording of a site or item's discussions options were updated for clarity.
- You can create a scene in Scene Viewer for 3D data you can access from a Hub catalog.
- A subaddress—such as a room, floor, or building—can be added to a site, page, initiative, or project location.
- The default permissions have been updated for channel members (Participate permission) and managers (Manage permission).
- Classic edit mode is retired and replaced by the Hub workspace. For more information, watch the ArcGIS Hub: Workspace Overview video.
April updates
Highlights are listed below:
- The following enhancements are available for events:
- A subaddress—such as a room, floor, or building—can be added to the event location.
- The event view has been reconfigured to show all key event information.
- Page slugs no longer need to be unique. While it is recommended that you set unique slugs, identical slugs can be appropriate for pages configured for different sites, or if you want to replace a page while maintaining the same URL.
- The supported Calcite Design System components for text cards has been updated to include 'calcite-dialog'. As part of the update, support for 'calcite-modal' and 'calcite-tip' have been removed.
- Group members can use the Add content button to add new or existing content directly on the group Content tab.
- French (Canada) is now supported in ArcGIS Hub. Dates and number formats now display correctly for users using the fr-CA regional setting.
- Hub users can now subscribe to discussions to receive weekly emails about thread activity such as new posts and replies.
- The View all content button in the workspace overview has been updated to display filtered content. For example, clicking View all sites opens the Content tab with content filtered to Hub Site Application. This update saves time from needing to filter the content type twice.
