Is a buffering tool implemented or planned?

[JFujikawa]

I thought I heard that a buffering tool would be added to ArcGIS Web Editor in AGOL. It doesn't seem like it is there or maybe I just don't see it? It is one of two tools (along with a trace tool) integral to our editing workflow that is keeping us from using Web Editor at this time.

@JFujikawa are you looking for a Buffering tool similar to ArcGIS Pro?  Or are you looking for something else or additional?  We have a Buffering tool in our backlog but it hasn't been assigned to a release.

Yes @CraigGillgrass , similar to ArcGIS Pro, or if there's another way to implement it . This along with tracing help to move our editing completely online. We buffer our tracks by a standard distance (for example, 5m for ground trails, or 50m for aerial surveys) to get our initial survey area then edit the polygon according to features such as ridges or an extended track to the area viewed.
