Hi Everyone,

Hi @GeeteshSingh07 

I'm afraid you cannot find the <mapWidgetID> from the builder. But there's way to find it at run time:

• Go to Experience settings -> Manage URL status.
• Turn on the toggle of the map widget that you wish to find <mapWidgetID> from. Make sure at least one option in the popper is enabled.

• Save the app and go to Live View or visit the published link.
• Change the map extent, you'll see the map widget parameters are added to the end of the URL, starts with a hashtag, like this: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/2ff3c55185da438e86cd10f0f82f5322/?draft=true#widget_1=active_datasource_id:dataSource_9,center:12704174.417054582%2C2577413.034325546%2C102100

widget_1 is the <mapWidgetID> of this map widget. The reason that the <mapWidgetID> is not available

to users in the builder is that this ID is not very readable.
