Introduction to content management
To store and manage content in the cloud for your applications, you can use the ArcGIS portal. You can store geospatial content, such as maps, scenes, layers, and services, application configurations for templates and builders, and files, such as Microsoft Word and PDF documents. You can access the portal with interactive tools, such as ArcGIS Online and the developer dashboard, or build custom applications that access the portal service. Once content is stored in the portal, you can also build content-driven applications that easily access and display maps, scenes, and data from services. All content is secure and can be private, shared publicly, or shared with specific groups of users. Learn how to perform these oprations in the topics below.
