Hi there,

We'd really like to see some of the Smart Editor widget and Edit widget from WebApp Builder brought into Experience Builder. We're working with farmers to enable them to map their current farm layouts and then plan what it could look like over the next 30 years.

It's cumbersome to have to redraw/adjust the layout multiple times. If we could get them to copy what's already been made and then split or merge polygons from there, that would save a lot of time for them and make our product more appealing to use, especially for these users who are not GIS people. These features are usable in WAB, but they don't have the conditional visibility at the level we need that ExB has.

In addition, the ability to draw a circle out right via the Edit Widget in ExB would be a game changer for them as their are lots of pivots on farms!

This takes 8 clicks in ExB to draw, and it still isn't exactly what we want.

In WAB's Edit widget, this takes only 1 click and it's perfect (geometry wise)! Attribute conditional visibility is missing though.

Please consider adding in these improvements. It would definitely up the usability of the Edit widget in Experience Builder! If we could hide feature to feature and geometry guides from the user, but have it turned on from the back end, that would be great too.

@Jianxia , delighted to hear this is coming to AGOL soon. What user types will allow this advanced editing in Experience Builder - Contributor, Creator, Mobile Worker, Professional and Professional Plus?

@beeshiels_galway - Split and Merger tools are now available in the Edit widget in ExB. They follow the same license requirements as Web AppBuilder. See the blog post below:

Also, the following editing tools are planned for Q1 2026 in Experience Builder in ArcGIS Online:

  • Copy and paste features
  • Reshape and AutoComplete

@Jianxia We earnestly request that you please do not phase out Web AppBuilder (WAB) from ArcGIS Enterprise 12 onwards unless a patch is first provided for ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 and older versions. This patch should backport the new Edit Widget and other essential widgets currently available in Experience Builder (ExB). Providing this functionality on our current platform will allow us to fully prepare and ensure our new ExB applications are functionally comparable to our existing WAB applications before we upgrade to version 12. We appreciate your commitment to providing powerful and well-supported development tools.

Thank you,
Abi
