Save editing features in web app builder?

Question

Hi

I have been testing out web app builder and have implemented the editing widget on my map. After creating a feature and editing attributes, I cannot find a save button to save my feature (only a delete button appears). The only way I have found I can save it is to choose another feature even if I do not want to continue to add more features.

Is this the only way I can save my feature or am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi Joe

Thanks for your reply - I know this is how it can be saved, but for me it isn't that obvious. I have found for a lot of non GIS savy users they need to be able to click something to save as it is how so many applications work. Really do think a save button is necessary here.

I've seen strange behavior during editing tasks in AGOL maps (map viewer and Web AppBuilder) depending on which browser you are using.  I have found the best behavior when using Chrome or Firefox.  I am currently editing in a Web AppBuilder map using IE 11 and it is working just fine.

Interesting. When I click somewhere on the map my edit gets saved but the feature doesn't get de-selected (which is what I'd assume a save button would do aside from posting apply-edits). I will experiment a bit more.
