Swipe Instant App config Layer List

Question

Hello everyone,

I am working on an Instant App with the Swipe functionality. The goal is to compare historical maps with one another.

Is it possible to customize the layer list available in the Swipe tool?

My map contains many Imagery Layers and Group Layers, which makes the layer list in the Swipe tool quite overcrowded. So, I was wondering if it is possible to:

* Exclude certain layers from the Swipe functionality while keeping them visible on the map?
* Display only the Group Layers in the layer selection list?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Adding to @MohammedSubair comments, until 12.1 Group Layers are not supported in the Swipe functionality on Instant Apps

Thanks @MohammedSubair,

At this time, Instant Apps Swipe does not provide a built-in option to selectively exclude layers from the Swipe tool while keeping them visible on the map.

That’s a shame, I hope future updates will make this possible.

I think the most reliable solution is, to create a dedicated web map containing only the historical layers you want users to compare and any necessary reference layers. While organizing layers into Group Layers may improve the map structure, it generally does not remove individual layers from the Swipe layer selection list. At this time, Instant Apps Swipe does not provide a built-in option to selectively exclude layers from the Swipe tool while keeping them visible on the map.
