Remove sections view number in URL of site

[Marisa_Kordecki]

I have an experience builder site (hosted, not developer) where I had a section with several views that auto-played on a loop every 5 seconds. I have made an example site just to illustrate for this post. 

The site URL will have "page=page_0&views=view_1" specified. If I click Page 1 on the menu bar, the URL will update to be "page=page_1&view_1". If the section has auto-play enabled for views, the the "views=view_[number]" will continually loop through the view numbers even when on a different page. 

All of this means my back browser button will not work correctly because those views stay in the URL even for other pages. If I clicked from Page 0 to Page 1 then to Page 2, then hit back, it would not go from Page 2 to Page 1 because it instead does something like "page=page_2&views=view_2" [back button] "page=page_2&views=view_1" when what I really want is "page=page_2" [back button] "page=page_1"

Is there a way to disable the URL having the section view so that the back browser button can work as intended?

Hi @Marisa_Kordecki. Thanks for reporting! What version of Experience Builder were you on? We have fixed this issue in ArcGIS Online, and it will be included in Enterprise 11.5. When a Section widget has multiple views autoplay, the URL parameter will not update until user interaction (click to switch views). So the views parameter on the URL will never change even if it's autoplaying.

Currently we are on version 10.9.1 and hoping to go to 11.4 or 11.5 with the next update underway. Great to know which update for enterprise will solve it!
