Adding custom widgets to Web AppBuilder

Hi everyone,

We have recently deployed ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 and are looking into adding custom widgets to Web AppBuilder. I found this documentation on how to add custom widgets but am uncertain if we need to install the developer edition in order to do this? I am not a server administrator, so any suggestions or recommendations you can provide me to forward to our IT staff would be greatly appreciated!

@shildebrand If you have a custom widget and simply want to add to an existing Web App - the referenced documentation will suffice. You should not need WAB developer edition (required if you are developing a new custom widget or modifying/enhancing one).

Thank you, this clarifies the confusion I was having between the two different editions. Does the same concept apply for experience builder? I'm guessing you only need the developer edition to create or modifying a custom widget?

@shildebrand Review the applicable documentation for Experience Builder: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/experience-builder/11.1/configure-widgets/add-custom-widgets.htm

It follows a similar deployment pattern as WAB widgets.
