You may have noticed a few changes recently with Map Viewer Beta. Over the past few weeks we've made a couple updates. Here's a rundown of the new features and enhancements. Time animation Map Viewer Beta can now display time animation for web maps that have time animation configured. Map Viewer Beta (And JavaScript API 4.x in general) provides a significant improvement for animating time-enabled data. Check out the example below to see the improvement. Map Viewer Beta Map Viewer Classic The ability to configure time animation in Map Viewer Beta is coming soon... Filtering The includes and excludes filter options have been enhanced to provide a search experience for finding specific values in the selected attribute. If there are less than ten unique values, the search experience is hidden and you are provided only the pick list as all the values are immediately available without having to search. Labels Many of you are already creating maps with multiple label classes; they are a powerful way to convey the information you want at the scale you want. The latest Map Viewer Beta update includes improvements with label positioning. Here are a couple examples. Tighter spacing for points Labels for point features are positioned closer to the features. Before After Automatic wrapping to a new line has been relaxed Previously longer labels would wrap to a new line fairly aggressively. This has been relaxed to allow more characters to be displayed before wrapping to a new line. This work is part of the core JavaScript API 4.x. JavaScript API version 4.15 will include these enhancements (currently planned for release in the next few weeks). While they may seem minor, these labeling improvements are important enhancements for putting together solid maps with the experience you intend for your audience. UI / UX improvements We're continuing to make UI / UX improvements and adjustments. I won't list them out here but if you notice and like or dislike, let us know!

Hi Simon - sorry I should clarify a bit more: - The reason I mentioned to use an app like Media map vs Map Viewer Beta is that the configurable apps like Media maps are better suited for being embedded for the most part. There isn't yet an embed experience for the new map viewer like how there is for the current viewer. - The issue with embedding not working is separate from Map Viewer Beta, especially given that it is happening on mobile devices only (and iOS specifically). Graham's mention that it is happening for the Media map as well so definitely seems to be something else going on. Once the root cause is identified, we'll know more. - Maps produced by map viewer beta can be used in other apps (the maps themselves aren't beta products, only the app is). I think the issue you're trying to work around is that labeling is much improved in the 4x jsapi (used by Map Viewer Beta) vs the 3x jsapi (used by Map Viewer Classic). This all ultimately means that you can use configurable apps built on the 4x jsapi (list available here) for a similar experience with multiple label classes (3x jsapi has some support but labels are overall better in 4x jsapi)...once the embed issue is sorted. Hope that helps make it a bit clearer Cheers, Chris

Hi @sjacksonesriaustralia-com-au-esridist - try using one of the configurable apps, such as Media map or Map Styler to embed the map. These apps use the 4x jsapi, which will provide a similar experience. The new map viewer is not really ready yet for an embed experience. Cheers, Chris

Sorry when I posted my question, I didn't see the response you'd already posted to previous questions about your agol organization's https setting (and that you have HTTPS enabled). In that case, yes the map viewer will make HTTPS requests for the capabilities xml. As you also mentioned, you should proceed with setting up HTTPS on the WMS server

Hi Todd Helt, Thanks for reporting. You are absolutely correct - we did a minor update last week that hasn't been announced yet (due to all the goings-on related to the coronavirus). Unfortunately we didn't catch the editing issue before the update went live. There is another update planned for a few weeks from now, which will include this fix. Apologies for the hassle and that we're not able to fix the regression right away. Cheers, Chris

David Brooks‌ if you check out the capabilities response, do you see https urls defined? The map viewer should make requests with the protocol defined in the capabilities response. Overall though, supporting / using https is recommended..browsers (and Esri) will be pushing things to all https more and more. Cheers, Chris

Hi Michael Koutnik, possible to share an example where you're seeing this? Print seems to show stacked labels in my simple case. cheers, Chris

Hi Gaëtan LAVENU, it sounds like the map is using vector tile layers as a basemap (which require webGL for display). Thanks, Chris

Hi Alison - both the 3x JSAPI and 4x JSAPI use the latest version of Arcade. Apps built using the JSAPI will automatically pick up support from the API. It may be best to post the specific issue you're seeing in the configurable apps forum: ArcGIS Configurable Apps. There may be an app specific issue rather something related to the version of Arcade. Cheers, Chris
