We would appreciate the ability to disable "edit mode" in the Edit widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder once the user has completed their edits.

Currently after editing the first feature with the Edit widget, the next selected features are in editing mode even if the Edit widget is closed. There is no such option, which can be inconvenient for users who just want to view popups without accidentally moving their polygons etc.

This issue is also discussed in the same topic: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/how-do-i-deactivate-the-edit-featu...

Thank you.

Yes. The user experience for editing within Experience Builder is horrible. My users are accidentally changing geometry and moving things around without realizing it.

Ideally, the edit pane should function similarly to Map Viewer. If the edit pane is closed, editing should be disabled.

@lah, I think this feature is now available in the ExB Developer v. 1.15 and ExB in ArcGIS Online now. You need to place Edit widget in the Widget Controller for it and then it should work exactly as you describe.
