The Add Data widget enables you to add data to the map by searching for layers from a group in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS, entering URLs, or uploading local files. In this way, you can temporarily add layers to and remove layers from the map. However, you can't save the layers to the map.

Note

LocalMaps 2.2 now supports uploading of all local files types for both ArcGIS Online & Portal for ArcGIS, including shapefiles, CSV, GPX, GeoJSON and KML files.
