AGIS data administrator needs to prepare data for use in offline workflows. Which database operation must the data administrator perform?

Scenario Overview:

The GIS data administrator needs to prepare data for offline workflows.

Offline workflows allow users to take data offline for use in disconnected environments, typically for

field operations.

Why Enable Sync?

Sync must be enabled on the feature service to allow offline workflows. This capability ensures that

edits made offline can later be synchronized with the enterprise geodatabase.

When sync is enabled, data can be downloaded for offline use in supported applications like ArcGIS

Field Maps, and changes can be synchronized back to the geodatabase.

Alternative Options:

Option A: Enable Archiving

Archiving tracks historical edits but is not required for offline workflows.

Option B: Add Global IDs

While Global IDs are required for enabling sync, adding them alone does not fully configure the

dataset for offline workflows.

Thus, to prepare data for offline workflows, the administrator must enable sync on the dataset.
