Label Polygons Beyond the Centroid in New Map Viewer

[MariaGiarrusso]

In Map Viewer Classic, polygon labels will redraw in the best location as you pan and zoom around the map.  However, in the new Map Viewer, polygon labels only draw at the polygon centroid.  If you pan away from the centroid, the label is out of view and not visible.

It is critical for many applications to be able to see the map label for all visible features in the map extent.  It is requested that ESRI , at a minimum, provide the same polygon labelling functionality that existed in Map Viewer Classic.   Thanks!

Echoing support for this!

Hoping for perhaps Fall 2025 AGOL update?

Just climbing on to get a notification when this is resolved, the centroid placement is not ideal for us either.

Adding support for this! My users are asking about it frequently!

This is planned to go out with the upcoming February release of ArcGIS Online. This will be supported across the apps that are going out with the the upcoming ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript release. This will cover Map Viewer, Instant Apps, Experience Builder and Dashboards for example and not require maps to be updated to a dynamic centroid property. We still have some additional enhancements coming for this labeling work but hopefully the first release is a big help for your map making.

Thanks @RussRoberts!

@RussRoberts  Great news! Does this include Enterprise Portal webmaps as well? or just AGOL?

[RussRoberts]

This is currently just ArcGIS Online. This will be a part of the 12.1 enterprise portal release.

So far the updated labeling has been good for my apps. Thanks for adding the enhancement, was worth the wait!

Thank You for getting it out the door!
