We’d like to see one of the following functionalities implemented in ArcGIS Hub:

  • The ability to interact with and zoom to layers in the Map Viewer that opens within Hub;
    OR

  • Support for locator-enabled Discussions in Experience Builder apps embedded in Hub sites.

Why this matters:
Our users need to interact with parcel data across multiple counties and states in each of our campaign maps. However, current limitations on Hub make this difficult:

  • The Map Viewer view allows for location-based comments through Discussions, but users can't interact with or zoom to layers.

  • Experience Builder apps allow layer interaction through custom configurations (e.g., layer list, filters, pop-ups), but Discussions aren't location-enabled within them on Hub.

We need a way to both interact with map layers and leave spatially anchored notes. Right now, Hub only supports one or the other, which limits how we can engage our users in spatial discussions.

Either enhancement would solve the problem. Ideally, both would be supported.
