Share hosted feature layers

In a collaboration, you can share hosted feature layers and other feature layer data as copies.

Note:

Some services, such as location tracking hosted services, use the spatiotemporal data store. Replication is not supported on spatiotemporal data stores; only relational data store-based feature services can be shared through distributed collaboration.

The following sections summarize how to publish and prepare a hosted feature layer so you can share it as a copy in a collaboration.

Publish a hosted feature layer

First, publish the hosted feature layer you want to share in a collaboration. You can publish from an ArcGIS Pro map, ArcMap document or any of the following files in an ArcGIS Enterprise portal:

Enable sync on the hosted feature layer

If you publish the hosted feature layer from ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap, you can enable the sync capability as part of the publishing process. If you didn't enable sync when you published, or you published from a file in your ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online organization, enable sync from the Settings tab of the hosted feature layer's item page.
