Hello,

I am working on an Experience Builder application that support versioning and I would like to have the option for the users to add their annotations and control it from the application.

I tried the draw widget but the text drawn using this widget will be temporary only.

I want the user to able to add it without being attached to any layer and unlike the draw widget permanent, is there any ideas on how to implement this?

Thanks,

Husam

If you are able to use Custom Widgets, here is a Custom Draw Widget that can save drawings/text to the user's browser and allows for downloading/uploading drawings.

If not, we can get creative with the Edit Widget.

  1. Create an editable feature layer for point geometry.
  2. Set it up where the point symbology is fully transparent and turn on labels.
  3. Add an Edit Widget. Users can drop points on the map and user the editor to add/change the text.

Thank you so much for your reply!

I have tried the custom widget annotations option but I didn't find the option to save the annotations to the user.

Could you please guide me how to do the save?

Thanks!

Never mind this comment, I just found the option in the second version of the widget.

Thanks again!
