Which tab on the item page should an analyst use to prevent a web map from being deleted by others?

The correct choice is to use the Settings tab on the item page to prevent a web map from being deleted by others. Within the Settings tab, an analyst can configure various permissions and sharing options for the web map.

One of the key features available in the Settings tab is the ability to manage item ownership and control editing capabilities. By setting the appropriate permissions, an analyst can designate who has the ability to delete the web map, ensuring that only certain trusted users or groups can perform critical actions such as deletion. For instance, if the map is shared within an organization, the owner can restrict delete permissions to only themselves or designated administrators, thus safeguarding the resource against accidental or unauthorized deletion.

The other tabs—Overview, Data, and Usage—serve different purposes. The Overview tab provides general information and descriptions about the web map. The Data tab focuses on the underlying data layers and their configurations. The Usage tab presents statistics regarding how the web map is being utilized, such as view counts and interactions, but none of these tabs offer the control needed to prevent deletion. Therefore, the Settings tab is the appropriate choice for managing deletion permissions.
