ESRI Solutions created using WAB

[VeronicaSarver]

@ScottOppmann I am new to using ESRI Solutions, but I have recently worked with the Plans and Drawings Solution which has items in it that were created using Web App Builder. I was wondering with the upcoming deprecation of WAB how will the Solution handle the change? How would the user migrate from Web App Builder to Experience Builder without affecting the Solution or will the solution automatically update? Is there documentation on migrating solutions that currently use WAB? I would appreciate any insight anyone could offer. Thanks so much!

The solutions eventually should be updated to include EXB rather than WAB.

@VeronicaSarver - I would just echo what @Laura noted above.  Over the last 18 months, we have been actively updating ArcGIS Solutions and replacing WAB configurations with new configurable apps.  That doesn't necessarily mean every WAB configuration will be an ExB configuration.  We evaluate capabilities available across ArcGIS each time we update a solution and pick the most appropriate configurable app.  Typically, that means existing WAB configurations are replaced with Instant Apps, ArcGIS Dashboards, or an ExB configuration.  

The Plans and Drawings solution was updated in late 2023.  I'd encourage you to deploy the update and check it out.  You will get two new app configurations and associated maps.  We did not change the underlying layer so the update will work with your existing content. 

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

@Scott Thank you so much for the response. I appreciate your time. I will give the updated Plans and Drawings solution a try. I'm excited to see what new features are included.
