PROBLEM

The Share Web Tool and Overwrite Web Tool functions are unavailable in ArcGIS Pro

Last Published: September 30, 2022

Description

In ArcGIS Pro, web tools can be used to share analysis with others users in an ArcGIS Enterprise portal. Web tools are first created and run in ArcGIS Pro before being shared to a portal. In addition to sharing new web tools, existing web tools in a portal can be overwritten to reflect changes. However, in some instances, when attempting to share or overwrite a web tool from ArcGIS Pro, the Share Web Tool and Overwrite Web Tool functions are unavailable.

The Share Web Tool and Overwrite Web Tool functions are unavailable when accessed from the Share tab and the History pane.
