Widget Controller moving position on different Screen Sizes

Question

Hey all,

I am trying to figure out experience builder and having trouble right away with the widget controller. I am trying to mirror our previous application in web app builder by creating a set of widgets directly underneath the search bar. However, when I set the position in the editor, the position changes when I look at it in different window sizes:

Setting in the editor:

Completely different location on the live view:

It's within a fixed panel. Not sure if that's even what I want. Any suggestions please let me know!

Go into 'Style' for your widget. Your size and position will either be set to px or %. On % it will automatically change the size based on screen size. If you don't ever want that widget to adjust change it to px.

This link goes over the opposite so you can see in real time what that % is doing. https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/problem-the-arcgis-experience-builder-widget-size-and-p-000028678

I tend to use sidebars with a section & views navigation vs free floating widgets. I find that words are easier for my users than icons and with this you can collapse it.

Hey Laura! Thanks for this. I wasn't able to get it at first because you need to also change the percentages within the size and position graphic as well:

Now it works as expected. Thanks again!
