Schedule the synchronization of feature layer edits

Once a hosted feature layer has been initially shared as a copy, subsequent updates to the source feature layer will be synchronized based on the established sync interval. Edits will be synchronized, one-way, from the source feature layer to each receiving participant. Any edits made to the hosted feature layer on the receiving participant will not be synchronized back to the source feature layer. Additionally, it is possible for these edits to be overwritten when edits are synchronized from the source feature layer.

Schedule synchronization of edits as a Host

A collaboration host does not have the ability to schedule when feature layer edits are synchronized. Only guests can determine when they want to send or receive synchronized edits.

Schedule synchronization of edits as a Guest

Collaboration guests have the ability to schedule when feature layer edits are synchronized.

  • If the guest owns the source layer, edits are synchronized to participants based on the configured schedule.
  • If the guest is not the owner of the source layer, the configured schedule determines when they will receive synchronized edits.
