Thanks @Jianxia , I will do that.  ... View more

It was B - the layers weren't in the legend to be ticked - it had never occurred to me to just drag them from the map frame.  Brilliant - thank you very much indeed! ... View more

Yes, I ran into the same frustration a couple of months ago.  All of the nice new functionality in the new map viewer (grouped layers and more advanced symbology, etc) can’t be used in WAB.   I understand that WAB uses the 3.X version of the JS API, and the new map builder 4.X. I tried using EB instead but lost some of the fundamental functionality I was using in WAB, so reverted back to that…  Agree that products are being pushed out before they should be, which is a shame, as there is a lot of great functionality in the ‘nearly ready’ pile! ...

I’m afraid WAB builder can’t handle grouped layers. You’ll need to use experience builder for that (although that comes with drawbacks as you can’t achieve everything you can in WAB…) ... View more

Thanks @DanPatterson , yup I was hoping that there might be a similar little hack like the one that used to work... and wanted to avoid converting to graphics as I know it will change later on, but looks like that's going to be my best option.   Thanks again for the help,  Helen ... View more

Thanks @DanPatterson , but I don't really want word wrap, as I don't want a consistent width for the whole legend... just a few extra carriage returns to split some entries into two at particular places, does that make sense? ... View more

Thanks @AdrianWelsh , I'd just brought in some soil and geology data and made a layout with 4 map frames, but none of it was huge... maybe one of the layers has a gremlin in there somewhere though!  I've brought that layout into a new project and it's certainly a lot happier.  ... View more

Thank you all for the very helpful suggestions - really appreciated.  I've just cleared the cache and it's certainly improved noticeably! (Thank you @PeterMacKenzie2  and @DanPatterson ).  I'm also exporting a layout to start a new project (this is taking a long time... hopefully it will be done soon!).   I'm using locally stored data (on an SSD drive) so it's not that, and am already on version 2.8, but good suggestion @AubriOtis .  I will run the ArcGIS Pro Performance Assessment Tool as soon as I'm clear of my current deadline (thank you @TomBole  - good suggestion!)  I'll also work through the other suggestions in the link that @DanPatterson provided.  Thank you all, really appreciate the help! ...

Hi @clsavage10 , does the document here help at all? https://doc.arcgis.com/en/web-appbuilder/create-apps/widget-filter.htm  Feel free to post some screen shots of the 'configure filter' dialog box that you're working on if that might help too?  ... View more

Hi @OwenGeo , I've just tried again and it has worked perfectly this time!  I'm not sure why it didn't when I tried it previously.  Thank you for persisting with this! The linking within collections would be great within time as well, thank you. Helen ... View more

It would also help with navigation around collections - where you might want to guide a user to a particular point in the story (and stay within the same browser tab).  ... View more

Thanks @OwenGeo , sorry - I should have been clearer in my suggestion, the trouble with that is that the links open in new tabs.  Is there a way of getting around this?  I've tried adding target="_self" to the end of the URL but can't get the link to work then.  ... View more
