Map pop-up in the way while moving feature during edit

Question

I have the pop-ups enabled within the map widget and I would like to keep them on. However, when I start an edit session and click on a feature, the pop-up opens and remains open while I am moving the feature from one place to another. Unfortunately, there are times when I want to move the feature to the area the pop-up is located and it interferes with the process. My current work around is to move the feature to a completely different area, save my edits and then move it again so the pop-up is out of the way. It would be nice if the pop-up temporarily disappeared during this time. Is there a way to do this or a different work around? Or should this be submitted as an enhancement request?

You can add 10 Feature info panels into a section widget, each one connected to its own layer. Then use the views navigation widget and the user can scroll through to select the right view for the layer they are wanting to see details on.

And then you can add awesome transitions between each page like having each one on a rotating box, or have each view/page fade in and out or slide in and out like powerpoint used to do when the user is flipping through to find which layer/feature they are looking for.

It's 2024, this is peak app design.

If you are on Developer Edition, you can replace the popup entirely with the Feature Panel widget which would be a good workaround for this problem.

If you first click the 'Select' button in your Edit widget it will suppress the popup. You would need to click it every time you wanted to select a new feature.
