How to overwrite the buffer radius circle color? The default is a dark grey which is difficult to seen when users switch the basemap to imagery. I saw someone mentioned there should be an "Overwrite default" under Interactivity, but I don't have that option available. Please see the attached image.

Also is there a way to hide the geocoding services from the public? On the left side of the Search there is a dropdown listing the multiple geocoding services. I've included this in the same image. Thank you for your help.

I found the solution for customizing the radius circle color. In the Nearby Instant App, go to Nearby → Search method. The styling options for the search radius (including color and opacity) are available there. See the attached image...

However, I still have a question about hiding geocoding services in the search dropdown. Under Interactivity → Search, I see a “Delete” option, but I would prefer not to delete the locators—only hide them from users. To ensure accurate search results, I am currently using two locators. Is there a way to hide them not deleting them? Thank you.

Hi JinMa2,

At present, there is no way of doing this within the configuration for the Nearby Instant App. However, this would be a great candidate for an ArcGIS Idea - I would recommend posting this suggestion on the ArcGIS Instant Apps Ideas Board: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-instant-apps-ideas/idb-p/arcgis-instant-apps-ideas

All the best,

No problem! If you are interested, this functionality is available in the Experience Builder Search widget. You can disable the drop-down by disabling the 'Allow search source selection' setting:

All the best,
