Hi Esri community,
I am using ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript map components in a React app and I am trying to hide the Back button in the Editor UI during an update workflow.
My setup:
- ArcGIS packages: @ArcGIS/core 5.0.16 and @ArcGIS/map-components 5.0.16
- Component: arcgis-editor
- Workflow: I open popup action Edit, then call startUpdateWorkflowAtFeatureEdit(selectedFeature)
What I am seeing:
- In older widget-based code, I used visibleElements.flow = false (or hideFlow in older examples) to remove the flow/back UI.
- In arcgis-editor (map component), hideFlow is not available.
- visibleElements is also not exposed as a public component property.
- EditorViewModel does not appear to support visibleElements.flow either.
What I need:
- A supported way to hide the Back button/flow UI in arcgis-editor.
- If not supported, a recommended workaround that is stable for production.
Additional context:
- I can still cancel workflows programmatically and collapse my side panel, but I specifically want to prevent users from using the built-in Back navigation in the Editor component.
Question:
Is there an official/supported replacement for hideFlow when using arcgis-editor in 5.x map components?
If not, what workaround do you recommend?
Thanks!
