The current Web Editor lacks a fundamental capability: the ability to measure directly on the map. This is a critical gap in usability and forces users to rely on workarounds, such as publishing custom measurement layers—something that should not be necessary for basic functionality. Experience Builder already provides this capability out of the box, and Web Editor should offer the same standard. Adding built-in measurement tools would significantly improve efficiency, streamline workflows, and eliminate unnecessary overhead for users.

Hi @Miralem_Zeljo, what workflows are you hoping to achieve with the measurement tool? Have you used tooltips before? They are supported across the ArcGIS Platform meaning that you can define exact values for measurements like segment length, angles, and elevation while editing

That is a great tip, but it does add complexity compared to other applications that had measure tool available where you can chose what unit of measure you want (Planar/Geodesic) I hope this is something that can be implemented into web editor. Appreciate the response. Thank you!
