For all of you collaborators out there – announcing an update to the availability of distributed collaboration!
Collaboration has been released from the Early Adopter Community and is now available for all users with ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1 and up.
To enable collaboration in your ArcGIS Online organization, visit the licensing section of My Esri and select the radio button under ‘enable collaboration’ next to your ArcGIS Online subscription name and ID. Note that you will need to be an administrator to do this. For a walkthrough of this workflow, please check the last bit of this blog. (If you do not see this option available for you as an administrator, please contact Esri customer service.)
Given this release, the Early Adopter Community for collaboration is no longer accepting new applicants.
