ArcGIS Field Maps Sharing Markup to Organization Feature

Description

In the 30 September 2025 release of ArcGIS Field Maps 25.2, the ability for users to share markup to their organization in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise is no longer supported.

Markup is a feature in Field Maps that enables mobile workers to draw and take notes on the map. Currently, users can share markups peer-to-peer through emails, text, and other channels, and can share their markups to their organizations, if they have the Creator user type.

There has been significant enhancements to the markup capability in the September release of Field Maps, which modernizes the user experience. However, Esri will be discontinuing the functionality that allows direct sharing of markups to the organization. This decision is necessary due to the fact that the feature collection item facilitating markup sharing to the organization is not supported by Map Viewer. Users will continue to have the option to share the markup through peer-to-peer sharing.

Recommendation

Customers with users sharing markup to the organization must adjust their workflows to share markup via text, email, or other communication channels, or have them capture geometry with the collect feature in Field Maps.

While this ability to share markup back to the organiztion had to be retired due to technical limitations, customer feedback around markup has helped us uncover something deeper: many customers are looking for additional ways to capture data (for example, freehand drawing for complex boundaries).

Rather than expanding markup into a data collection tool, our strategy is to keep markup focused on personal use, though still shareable peer-to-peer. On our roadmap, we plan to invest in enhancing data collection modes to better support the workflows wherein markups have been most useful.

If the capability to share Markups directly from Field Maps to the organization is highly required, kindly complete this survey: New Personal Markup Survey. Your feedback continues to shape the direction of Field Maps.
