I have an old Web AppBuilder application that we are deprecating and would like to add a Splash Screen to direct traffic to a newer version of the app. The app was built in Web AppBuilder Online and about 2 months ago I made a copy of the app and added a Splash Widget to the copy. The changes were approved and now I need to apply the changes to the production app, but I do not get an option to edit the application.

I am also not getting an option to edit the copy that I WAS able to edit as described above. I own both applications and I have editing permissions. I am able to edit all other applications, WAB and EB. Can anyone let me know what I might be missing??

Ok, I finally figured it out. For some reason I had to go to the Details page and click the 'Configure' button. I don't have to do that for any other EB or WAB apps, so was just confused.

I'm guessing you have missed the deadline for editing existing WAB apps. See this blog post

Hi @FranklinAlexander, Have you tried checking out Web Editor & the new Isntant Apps template? It is in Beta but there's a lot of easy, configurable controls to customize and editing application. I'd recommend taking a look

@SteveCole , Yes, but the deadline isn't until the first quarter of next year and I am still able to edit other WAB apps. 

@bbollin. Haven't found a good solution editing the Web Map using the Map Viewer or the Web Editor. I tried to create a pseudo splash widget in the web map by 1st creating a feature layer in ArcPro (basically a polygon in shape of rectangle), added a label and published to ArcGIS Online. Then added the layer to the Web Map that my app is using. The problem I have now is there is no way to add a working hyperlink to the label. Unfortunately this is important because we need to re-direct traffic to the new application so there has to be a clickable link. Open to any other ideas.
