With a new and easy-to-use editor, you can now tailor any of the Esri vector basemaps to match your brand or support the look of your maps. The ArcGIS Vector Tile Style Editor allows you to create, edit, and save your own styles with your choice of colors, patterns, labels, and visibility for all layers in the basemap. Your new style is saved in ArcGIS Online and can be used to display your custom basemap in the Map Viewer or any other web apps, such as the Esri Story Maps.
