Hi Undral Batsukh‌,

Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the suggestion Ken Buja‌ but then clicking on the map returns an error because the widget is not properly destroyed

However, if you try to use the editor after destroying it, it's not working. Adding in a console.log(editor) after destroying it will give you

TypeError: null has no properties

You just have to manually remove the editor from the view.ui before destroying it.
