Add Data allows you to add map or feature services to the map view by searching for layers in ArcGIS content, entering URLs, or uploading local files. In this way, you can temporarily add layers and remove layers from the map. However, you can't save the layers to the map.
Note: Some services have multiple layers. Once added, these are best managed by going to the Layer List tab to view and manage layer visibility.
