Turn Off Editing in Collector for ArcGIS

Question

I want to prevent my users from editing when they use Collector for ArcGIS.

I am using Collector App in Apple on an iPAD and on a Android Phone.

But, when I turn off editing (uncheck the box) in the Feature Service in AGOL used by our Collector App, the specific app disappears from the Collector App. When I turn editing back on, the specific app reappears in the Collector App.

Is it possible to prevent users from editing inside a Collector App?

Hi Tim,

Collector for ArcGIS is designed and meant for field data collection. Editing is one of its key capabilities.

Perhaps you might want to use Explorer for ArcGIS instead? This app is more of a "viewer" app when compared to Collector.

Hope this helps,
