We’re thrilled to announce the latest version of the Satellite Imagery for ArcGIS Pro, powered by SkyWatch. This release is packed with new features designed to enhance your geospatial workflows, improve budget tracking, and bring you even greater data access. These updates are a direct result of your feedback and our commitment to making your experience as seamless and efficient as possible.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s new in this release.

Login with Esri Credentials: Simplifying Authentication
The SkyWatch add-in now allows you to log in using your Esri credentials. This feature makes it easier than ever to connect your SkyWatch and Esri accounts, offering a unified login experience that eliminates the need to manage multiple sets of credentials.
By linking your accounts, you can seamlessly integrate the add-in into your existing ArcGIS Pro workflows, saving time and reducing friction.
Associate Projects with Orders: Supporting Project-Based Budgeting
Understanding the importance of project-based workflows, we’ve added the ability to associate Projects—created and managed in SkyWatch HUB—with Orders placed in the add-in.
This enhancement brings the add-in into compliance with project-based budgeting workflows, ensuring all data purchases are tied directly to the relevant projects. This provides better transparency and control over how data expenditures are allocated, making it easier to manage budgets, justify spending, and report on project performance.
Prepayment Tracking and Visualization
Keeping track of prepayments just got easier. The updated add-in introduces functionality for visualizing and tracking the prepayment amounts from your organization’s HUB account. This feature provides real-time insights into your remaining balances, helping you plan future purchases more effectively and avoid any surprises.
Maxar Data Integration: Expanding Your Data Options
We’re excited to announce the addition of Maxar’s high-resolution satellite data to the SkyWatch Satellite Imagery for ArcGIS Pro add-in. Maxar data offers unparalleled clarity and detail, supporting applications across industries such as oil & gas, architecture, engineering, construction, and environmental monitoring.
Now, you can access Maxar’s extensive archive directly through the add-in, alongside the wide array of other data providers already available on the SkyWatch platform.
