How do you publish from ArcGIS Pro to ArcGIS Online or Enterprise?

Publishing from ArcGIS Pro to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise is accomplished through the sharing ribbon, which is a built-in feature of the software specifically designed for this purpose. Using the sharing ribbon, users can easily access a variety of options to publish their content, including maps, layers, and other geographic data. This process streamlines the sharing of your work directly from the project interface, allowing for efficient integration with the online platform.

The sharing ribbon provides options such as creating a web layer or web map, selecting the right folder within the Online or Enterprise environment, specifying sharing permissions, and setting metadata—all in one convenient location. This method ensures that the publishing process maintains the integrity of the data and respects any associated configurations required for the platform.

Other methods such as exporting to CSV, relying on third-party applications, or manually uploading files do not leverage ArcGIS Pro's native capabilities and may result in the loss of geospatial context or metadata configurations necessary for effective publishing and sharing of geographic data online.
