Note:

You need the following account and license types to use this workflow:

• Microsoft license—You need a Microsoft 365 license, with the Contributor role or higher, to format map properties.

You can use the web part tools in ArcGIS for SharePoint to manage the appearance of the map and specify the way others can interact with it.

Modify a SharePoint web part

To access the web part tools, open a map-enabled SharePoint site and activate edit mode for the page. Click the map to display the web part tools.

Note:

Use the tools that modify the web part, not the tools that modify the page section. The web part tools appear directly next to the map.

 

Rename a map

To rename a map to better describe its contents or purpose, complete the following steps:

1. With the page in edit mode, click the map name field.

   A pointer appears, allowing you to modify the map's name. 

2. Type a new name for the map. 
3. Click outside the text box to set the new name.

Duplicate a map

To duplicate a map, complete the following steps:

   A copy of the map appears below the first map.

2. Modify the new map as needed.

Set map controls

You can specify which tools are available to others when the page is in run mode. In the Map Controls section of the ArcGIS pane, turn the toggle buttons on or off for the following tools:

• Show Table of Contents
• Show Basemap Gallery
• Show Find Address
• Show Analysis
• Show Share

  Note:

  This button is turned on by default, making the Share button available in the map tools. The Share pane includes two user interface items: Share map and Print map. Viewers cannot share a map to ArcGIS, so Share map is unavailable for Viewers. Viewers can, however, print a map. Turning the toggle button off removes the Share button from the map tools, so Viewers cannot access Print map.

• Show Settings

  Note:

  Turning off the Show Settings toggle button makes the map available for Standard users only. Users cannot sign in to an ArcGIS account when Show Settings is turned off.

• Show Geotagging
• Show Geosearching
• Synchronize map view

  Note:

  This button is turned off by default. See Link multiple map views to learn how to view spatial content side by side.

• Show map navigation controls

  Note:

  This button is turned off by default. Turning the toggle button on shows the zoom in and zoom out buttons on the map frame.

• Show full screen control

  This button is turned off by default. Turning the toggle button on shows the full screen button on the map frame.
