What is the correct workflow to make a map publicly available online in ArcGIS Pro?

The correct workflow to make a map publicly available online in ArcGIS Pro is to utilize the option to share as a web map while ensuring that the correct access settings are configured. When opting to share as a web map, you must indicate the audience for whom the map is intended. By checking the option for "Everyone (public)", you ensure that the map can be accessed by anyone without restrictions.

While the other options may involve sharing components of a map, they do not specifically cater to the requirements for making a map publicly available in a straightforward manner. For instance, sharing as a web layer or a web scene might not inherently guarantee public access unless the appropriate settings are altered. Additionally, choosing to share with default settings may not include the necessary adjustments for public accessibility. Therefore, making intentional choices about sharing settings and audience helps align the workflow with the desired outcome of public availability, thereby making the selected approach the most effective for this purpose.
