ArcGIS Experience Builder 2026 Roadmap

[Jianxia]

Last update on April 23. A new year brings fresh opportunities! Here is a sneak peek at what's planned for 2026. Along with achieving feature parity with Web AppBuilder, we're committed to further improving accessibility and introducing exciting AI capabilities. Please note, these plans may evolve as we continue to innovate.

Hi @Jianxia great to see the new roadmap for 2026

What does "Data Filter Widget" means ?

No news for the availability to filters data who have only a common ID and nothing more ?

I think it would be nice if the measurement widget would log or label (or both) the individual segments of a multi segment linear measurement.  Could you please add this?

People who work with cadastral data, surveys, legal deeds, etc. need to be able to "follow along" with descriptions, and this is not possible with the current funcationality of the measurement widget.

Thank you!

@Jianxia oh my department is going to celebrate with the import and export drawing tool. They have been asking for that one. I am so happy and can't wait .. thank you, Jianxia! 😁

@ClintOffutt1I recommend using the Draw widget’s tooltip to map out cadastral measurements. While drawing, you can enable the tooltip by pressing Tab, which allows you to enter deflection angles and absolute values for precise line placement (see Draw widget—ArcGIS Experience Builder | Documentation).

One drawback of this workflow is that measurements default to meters. To work in feet, you must be logged in and have your unit preferences set.

Hi @Jianxia,

Thanks for sharing the ExB 2026 roadmap with more capabilities to come: great to see ExB continuing its evolution!

Could you please include ENH-000180486 (change symbology of individual points and polylines within layers added with "Add Data" widget at runtime + select their new symbology from our organization "2D Web Styles") and ENH-000180487 (capability to default the symbology used for points and polylines created via "Add Data" widget at runtime with symbols from "2D Web Styles")? I am not sure to see an item on this roadmap that these would fall under and want to make sure that they are being considered somewhere in it.

Which 2026 release can they be included in? If they need to be split across releases then ENH-000180486 first and ENH-000180487 second would work for us.

It seems to me that ExB in its current version has pretty much everything it needs as far as underlying functionalities to be able to implement these additional capabilities. It may be a matter of "connecting the already existing dots" for the most part. These are crucial for us to have a viable Experience for our users and is potentially a relatively easy win for the ExB team for tremendous additional capabilities! I am available should the ExB team need anything from our side as we have been quite stuck with this since logging the first enhancement request on this topic (ENH-000163386) back in 2024. Having these enhancements moved to "In Product Plan" and knowing which release they are targeted for would be a monumental step forward for us to be able to plan accordingly. Thank you very much for any guidance you can provide on this. All the work done by the Esri ExB team is sincerely appreciated!

Just update our internal map to include the export and import and gave an overview of it. Got a couple smiles! Thank you experience build team!

@Jianxia is there a way for us to see which ExB templates will receive accessibility enhancements?  Specifically, I am wondering if the "website" category of templates (multi-page) are slated for these enhancements in 2026 or beyond.  I understand that the timeline is fluid, and I very much appreciate seeing more of these accessibility enhancements with each update.  Thank you!

[Jianxia]

@mmadden, See the recommended template list in the link below. In the meantime, there are 3 A11y public templates from the team, providing guidance on creating accessible apps.

Regarding enhancing multi-pages templates, we will evaluate them. Thank you!
