Heads up for ArcGIS Online users: The Oriented Imagery Classic widget for Experience Builder, deprecated in 2025, will be removed in February 2026. If your apps rely on this widget, now is the time to plan your migration to the new integrated oriented imagery capability for a smooth transition.  

Version 1.19 includes major theme system enhancements, new widgets, and React 19 upgrades.

New features in Experience Builder in ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0

Introduce enhanced theme system, two new widgets - Login and Image Collection Explorer, page visibility restriction, and split and merge editing tools.  

We only have few updates for Near Me in October 2025

New features:

Near Me now supports current location as input:

You can use the Map widget's  Locate tool to set your current location as the input location for the Near Me widget. To do this, add the Location change trigger in Map widget settings, choose a Near Me widget as the target, then select the Set location message action.

Added support to clip features:

We have added a new setting in Near Me Proximity analysis to clip intersected features. This setting will only show up for line and polygon features when you configure Proximity analysis. When enabled, it will return intersected length or area of the proximity features by the input feature or input feature search area.

The clipped area or length will also be included in the exported PDF report and other exported format when export is supported in the layer.

Existing setting move:

Feature count setting is moved to Edit analysis panel, showing feature count could be controlled at layer level.

Version 1.18 includes support for Arcade expressions, new widgets, and enhancements. You can also utilize custom widgets from ArcGIS Enterprise and restrict apps to use resources exclusively from ArcGIS Enterprise only.
