Manage hosted tile layers

Owners of hosted tile layers and administrators can manage the following settings specific to hosted tile layers:

• The number and scale of tiles in the layer
• The minimum and maximum scales at which a hosted tile layer will draw when added to a map
• Whether a hosted tile layer can be taken offline

Note that you cannot manage minimum and maximum scales or the offline mode on hosted tile layers if the source data or hosted feature layer that your hosted tile layer was published from is no longer accessible. Similarly, if your hosted tile layer was published from a hosted feature layer, you cannot build tiles for areas that fall outside the visible range set for the hosted feature layer.
