We have added some exciting new capabilities in Manager in February 2026 ArcGIS Online update  Added an interactive selection Lasso tool:  We have added a new lasso and clear selection tool in map. Clear Selection tool will show up when there is any selection. These tools work with Feature selection configuration option (Interactivity > modify > Feature Selection). The default value is multiple,  if you change it to single, these tools will not show up.   Support for reference layers in the map: Added support to view and select features from reference layers in the map. It will work the same way as the editable layer except you will not see the Edit button. Customize Create features button label: Added a configuration option to customize create feature/record label at the map level, it is in Manager > Select the map> Edit and you should see this option.       Add Layer list widget to control visibility of layers in map: Added the layer list widget in Map, also added a configuration option in Interactivity >Modify >Layer list to control the visibility of this widget. You can now turn on or off layers in the map.   Turn off autosave option: We added a configuration option to turn off the auto save in table editing in Manager. This setting will be useful for cases when adding a contingent value. Editing may fail silently when there is any mismatch while editing contingent values. You will find this option in Manager > select the map >Edit panel, this is on by default but you can turn it off and Save button will show when you edit a value in the table itself.    Contingent value validation support Manager now supports contingent value validation, if you have a layer published with contingent value, Manager will filter out records for the child field based on the parent field , same experience as Map viewer. It will show error/alert message when validation fails to protect data integrity.   Added a url parameter to turn off map list navigation: When you have multiple maps in the app and you are using the same app in different places, you can turn off the map list dropdown to prevent users browsing to other maps. The parameter name is maplist, it is enabled by default, so if you need to hide the maplist navigation button, use maplist=false with the map id you wanted to show. Here is an example url parameter structure https://www.arcgis.com/apps/instant/manager/index.html?appid={id of the app}& webmap={id of the webmap}&maplist=false ... View more

In this update, we mostly worked on performance improvement in Near Me. Near Me previously encountered performance issues when processing large datasets, dense or complex geometries, or handling large number of configured layers. These challenges could cause the user interface to become unresponsive, requiring users to wait until it recovered. In the February 2026 update, several enhancements were introduced to boost performance and user experience, especially when working with large, complex, or geometry-dense datasets. While the visual changes on the front end are minimal, the backend functionalities got significant updates to improve performance. This performance improvement initiative is an ongoing, long-term project, and we are actively working in this area. 1) Performance enhancements Introduced: Deferred Processing Near Me now defers certain actions until needed, improving responsiveness. For example. when running Near Me, it first shows the count of results. In case of result count over 10000, actual results (first 20) are rendered only when users expand a layer accordion. A threshold of 10,000 records Following functionalities in Near Me need all results to be fetched to work, Export Generating output data source Clip features (Proximity setting for line or polygon features) Highlighting features With the new changes, if the result count is below 10,000, the above features will work without doing anything from the user's side but if result count is above 10,000, users will need to use Retrieve all tool for these to work. For more detail about these changes and best practices for performance optimization, please visit the blog    2)  “Regardless of layer visibility, display results in” setting is enhanced and we added support to hide hidden layers result’s (layers that have their visibility turned off in the map) in Near Me widget panel:     Near Me panel — When enabled, display results from hidden layers when the Near Me widget finds results from those layers. You can turn this option off to hide the results from hidden layers. Map — When enabled, it turns on layer visibility for any hidden layers on the map when the Near Me widget finds results from those layers. 3) URL parameters — Added a new setting for URL parameters in General settings tab. When this option is turned on, the Near Me widget runs automatically for features selected with URL parameters.   ... View more

We only have few updates for Near Me in October 2025 New features: Near Me now supports current location as input: You can use the Map widget's  Locate tool to set your current location as the input location for the Near Me widget. To do this, add the Location change trigger in Map widget settings, choose a Near Me widget as the target, then select the Set location message action.   Added support to clip features: We have added a new setting in Near Me Proximity analysis to clip intersected features. This setting will only show up for line and polygon features when you configure Proximity analysis. When enabled, it will return intersected length or area of the proximity features by the input feature or input feature search area. The clipped area or length will also be included in the exported PDF report and other exported format when export is supported in the layer.     Existing setting move: Feature count setting is moved to Edit analysis panel, showing feature count could be controlled at layer level.   ...
