How does ArcGIS Online support collaborative decision-making?

ArcGIS Online enhances collaborative decision-making primarily through the use of shared maps, analytics, and dashboards. This platform allows multiple users to work together in real-time, facilitating discussion and decision-making based on interactive visualizations of geospatial data. Shared maps enable stakeholders to view and interact with the same datasets, fostering a collaborative environment where team members can analyze information collectively and derive insights that guide strategic decisions. Additionally, dashboards provide summarized data and visual representations that can inform discussions and ensure that all participants have access to the same information, ultimately improving the decision-making process.

The other choices don't effectively promote collaboration. Restricting access to important data limits the flow of information necessary for making informed decisions. Requiring all decisions to be made offline hinders real-time collaboration and access to current data. Individual user account settings may allow for customization, but they do not inherently facilitate collaborative efforts among users in the same manner that shared resources do.
