Share a layer on ArcGIS

Sharing your Esri Maps for IBM Cognos layers to ArcGIS is a quick and easy way to share information with others in your organization or in the ArcGIS public community. You can share individual layers or the entire map.

When you share a layer, a snapshot of the current data is created and shared as a hosted feature service on ArcGIS, where you can do more work on it.

Sign in to ArcGIS if you are not already signed in.
In the Contents pane, press the Configure layer button beside the layer you want to share.
Note:
Heat map layers cannot be shared to ArcGIS as layers but can be shared as part of a map. In the ArcGIS.com map viewer and ArcGIS Explorer Online, the heat map layer displays as a point layer instead of rendering as a heat map.
If you want to share a layer with clustering applied, the layer is shared as a point layer without clustering.
Press Share layer.
Share layer will only be visible if you have selected a layer that can be shared on ArcGIS. Layers you create with data from your business system can be shared on ArcGIS. Layers you have added using Search cannot be shared.
Specify a title, tags, and a description for the layer and choose whether to share it with everyone (public), your organization, or any groups to which you belong.
Press Share.
