Edit Services Directory

Description

The edit operation allows you to enable or disable the HTML view of ArcGIS REST API (also known as the Services Directory). You can also adjust the JavaScript and Map Viewer Classic previews of services in the Services Directory so that they work with your own locally hosted JavaScript API and Map Viewer Classic.

Note:

When the Services Directory is disabled, the HTML view is not accessible. However, the ArcGIS REST API is still available.
