In Experience Builder, when making changes to a published experience, there is the undo button to move through previous states within the current session. However, if you have made changes, Saved, closed and come back later, there doesn't seem to be a way to discard any changes made since the last Publish action if you decide that you don't want to pursue those changes.  ...

We've been busy testing the new geoPDF functionality in Field Maps and think we've either found a limitation or a bug. Would be good to see if others have too. We've tested on android mobile devices where some are factory standard but others have organisational Mobile Device Management software in place. If a geoPDF is downloaded from the Web via a browser, they always work when opened in Field Maps. However, if a geoPDF is saved to the device from Outlook or Teams, they only open if the device doesn't have MDM. The attached screenshots show a warning about encryption being added when saving the pdf to device on the MDM devices and they then fail to load in Field Maps.  The encryption does not prevent the document from opening in any other apps capable of viewing PDFs.    Please note, that our intended work flow does not rely on publishing the document through ArcGIS Online. It's intended for viewing docs received from other sources.  ... View more

Idea: In Field Maps, the markup function is a handy tool for quick random "note" type annotation on a map, though you know what would make it better? The ability to capture markup from the device location! That way, you could capture points, lines and polygons based on your location AND manual input. This combined with this idea would really enhance the usefulness of the markup function.  Use cases: Capture an important feature (e.g. contained fire edge) that you need to send to someone during emergency response for addition to incident maps when working at cross-departmental incidents without a common mapping platform.  ...

In Field Maps, the Markup feature allows users to capture basic notes on the map without having to "colelct data". Markup can also be shared, but only by either the "screenshot" method, or as a ".markup" JSON file. These files can in turn only be opened in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Pro (and then converted into other formats).  IDEA: Add in the option to share markup as a .kml file so that the data can be easily share with other people using non-esri apps and software (e.g. Avenza).  Use case: This functionality would make the newly added geopdf functionality even more useful. It would mean that a user (e.g. a first responder at an emergency) whoc has downloaded a geoPDF to their device from a 3rd party agency, opened it and captured information via the markup capability could then export that infomation and send it to other users who are not Field Map or ArcGIS users (e.g. Avenza/QGIS users) without needing to organise for it to be converted by someone in their org first. This is a time-critical workflow that currently is best served by using the screenshot function (definitely not ideal).  ... View more
