Select Widget - Layers off by default

ChivoGIS — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 23:09:27 GMT

I’m setting up the Select widget in ArcGIS Enterprise Experience Builder and need all selectable layers to be off by default. Right now, the widget seems to use the web map’s layer state, causing layers to toggle on automatically. Screenshot attached.
Is there a workaround to make the selectable layers start toggled off?

Thank you!

Is there a reason you cannot simply leave the layers off by default in the source web map?

@ChivoGIS Have you tried this option?

I am not in control of Web map, unfortunately
