Hello everyone,

Questions about how to use the AGOL Edit toolbar: 

 - how to switch to editing mode when selecting an existing feature. Most of the time when I click in one polygon it shows the Identity information window not the attributes window 

 - how to select more than one feature with the editor

 - how to use the Union button, 

Any manual explaining how to use the Edit toolbar?

Thanks

Jose,

   The first tool on the left is the select tool you can use that tool to draw a rectangle on the map to select more than one feature. You can also click the dropdown arrow next to the select tool and choose add to selection instead of new selection. Using the selection tool should always give you the edit attributes popup. Once you select multiple feature that can be unioned then you can use the union tool.

As an alternative you also have the Batch Attribute Editor widget—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS | ArcGIS  in WAB

Thanks Robert,

The select tool selects several polygons, but when clicking on the Attributes icon, it only shows on of the polygons, I did not see any arrow on the Attribute Inspector to browse attributes from several features, in my case polygons selected.

Let me post another question about the Arrow.

As for "manual/documentation", there is some information in https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/3/jsapi/editor-amd.html.
