A GIS user needs autocomplete suggestions when searching for a location on the map in ArcGIS Online. What action should the user take?

Using the Insert tab to add a Living Atlas connection is the appropriate action for a GIS user seeking autocomplete suggestions when searching for a location on the map in ArcGIS Online. The Living Atlas of the World is a curated collection of geographic content that includes maps, layers, and tools that enhance the mapping experience. By adding a Living Atlas connection, users gain access to high-quality data and ready-to-use features that support advanced search functionalities, including autocomplete suggestions for location searches.

This functionality is essential for improving user experience, allowing them to input a query and receive instant suggestions based on the extensive datasets available within the Living Atlas. This leads to more efficient and effective searching since users can quickly see potential match locations without needing to know the exact spelling or full names.

The other options do not directly pertain to enhancing location search functionalities with autocomplete capabilities in ArcGIS Online. Making a folder connection or a database connection generally relates to data management rather than enhancing search capabilities. Utilizing the Portal tab mainly supports project-specific tasks and does not directly provide access to the enriched datasets available in the Living Atlas that are crucial for user-friendly searching.
