The World Imagery WayBack app basemap does not show the correct imagery layer when added to ArcMap 10.8

Description

It is possible create a web map using the World Imagery Wayback app as described in the Esri Community blog Use World Imagery Wayback

One can view the basemap and/or web map in the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, and ArcGIS Pro displays the historical imagery as expected, however adding this layer to ArcMap does not connect to the historical imagery, but the latest imagery instead.

Solution or Workaround

Connect to the Wayback Imagery with a WMTS connection in ArcMap:

1. Open a new or existing map document in ArcGIS Desktop.
2. From the Catalog, expand GIS Servers and double-click Add WMTS Server.
3. In the Add WMTS Server Connection dialog, enter the following server URL and click OK:

https://wayback.maptiles.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer/WMTS/1.0.0/WMTSCapabilities.xml

4. Click Get Layers, and click OK.
5. In the Catalog window, expand GIS Servers and the Wayback server should be listed.
6. Double-click the Wayback server twice to open and view the full list of available layers as shown in the following image.

7. Drag and drop the World Imagery from the desired date into the map frame.
8. The selected version of World Imagery is now loaded and ready for use. Additional layers can be added to the same map as needed.
9. Save the map to save the server connection and the full list should always be available for selection and loading into additional Wayback layers.
