2.4 Layer List - Hide Label

Question

WAB 2.4 Blog post states that

"LayerList widget has a new context menu option to show/hide feature labels, when a feature layer has labels applied"

I installed 2.4 but I do not have Hide Labels option showing up in Layer List menu.  Anyone know whats up with this?

This would be really helpful as many of my maps have a lot of layers and users want to be able to turn layers off to control clutter.

Thanks for explaining... I was beginning to look into this after seeing the 5th bullet on the "What's new" page.  May need to be reworded as "The Layer List widget now supports showing or hiding feature layer labels", or similar (?).

Hunter,

It has to be a featurelayer and that featurelayer has have labeling info (meaning that the layer in the web map has to have someone click on the "create labels" option). If those requirements are not meet then the option will not be present.
