How to edit the concept version of Experience builder json

BartDouwesDekker — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 09:38:42 GMT

I want to edit the concept version of the json of an Experience builder site. If I use the ArcGIS Assistant (beta) site to edit the json file, it will change de publised version of the json file. This is not handy, because it means that new edits in the interface will overwrite the changes made in the edit of the json file.

Does anybody know how I can edit the concept version?

Thanks for any tips.

I want to edit the json of an Experience builder site in ArcGIS Online.

If I use the ArcGIS Assistant (beta) site to edit this json it wil edit the published version in stead of the concept version.

Does anybody know how to edit the concept version?

Hi @BartDouwesDekker,

The beta AGO Assistant (https://assistant.esri-ps.com/) does give the capability to view/edit both the draft (or concept) and published versions. This is not possible in the older, official AGO Assistant.

To edit the draft:

1. Go to your item in the AGO Assistant

2. Choose Resources in the green bar along the top right and the config/config.json

3. Edit and save, then view the draft version's changes in the ExB builder.

To edit the published version:

1. Go straight to JSON Editor > Data in the green bar along the top right.

2. Edit and save, then view the published version

Hope this helps!
Jarrett
