How is a service published from ArcGIS Pro different from one published from ArcMap?

Publishing a service from ArcGIS Pro is indeed different from publishing one from ArcMap, primarily due to the modern workflows and enhanced capabilities that ArcGIS Pro supports. When a service is published through ArcGIS Pro, it utilizes the latest advancements in the Esri software ecosystem. This includes support for new file formats that may not be recognized by ArcMap, enhancing the compatibility and functionality of the data being shared.

Moreover, ArcGIS Pro was designed with a more intuitive user interface and workflow optimization in mind, streamlining the process of data sharing and improving the overall efficiency of publishing services. This contrasts with ArcMap, which, while still functional, does not incorporate many of the newer enhancements and capabilities that ArcGIS Pro provides.

These advancements help users leverage updated methodologies for data visualization and analysis, ultimately leading to an improved user experience and greater potential for interactive mapping and geospatial analysis in ArcGIS Pro compared to ArcMap.
