Learning ArcGIS Pro

Chapter 11. Sharing Your Work
As you have learned throughout this book, ArcGIS Pro has very powerful tools to create
amazing 2D and 3D maps and to perform a wealth of spatial analysis. This whole
functionality means little if you cannot get the results of all this effort into the hands of
those that need it.
This need to access the results of your GIS efforts is also being fueled by the growing use
of geospatial and mobile technologies by the masses. Mostly everyone nowadays has a
smart phone or tablet and has used some sort of mapping application, such as Google
Maps, Waze, Bing maps, or the local county tax parcel application. This means that people
are becoming much more geospatially and technology savvy. They expect to be able to
access and use the data and analysis you provide.
ArcGIS Pro provides several methods and tools in order to share your GIS content with
others. Which of the available tools or methods will work best depends on several factors.
First is what is it you are trying to share. Is it data, an entire map, or a tool? The second is
what software and skills your audience possesses and what you want to allow them to do
with the shared content. Third consideration is whether they are able to connect to your
GIS directly via your network.
In this chapter, you will learn the following topics:
How to share GIS content with those on your network
How to share GIS content with those not on your network
How to export to other GIS data formats
How to export to non-GIS data formats
