Use the Exhibit app template to create a linear, interactive presentation by authoring a collection of slides to show different views of a map. For each slide, you can change layer visibility and the basemap, include a pop-up for a specific feature, apply a layer filter, and provide a title and notes. If applicable, you can import bookmarks from the map to create slides. (To learn more, see the blog article about using Exhibit.)
Note:
If you preview the app before creating it and the preselected map includes bookmarks, the app preview displays a slide for each bookmark so you can see how it works. When you create the app, you must click Import bookmarks in the Exhibit settings to generate slides from bookmarks in the final app.
Examples
Choose this template to create an app for use cases such as the following examples:
- Showcase multiple sites on a map by configuring the app to automatically play through the slides.
- Create a map of a national park to highlight types of available amenities showing different layers on each slide.
- Present a map with sketch layers that emphasize various elements of the same data.
- Replace map presentations that were created in Map Viewer Classic.
Data requirements
The Exhibit app has no specific data requirements.
