How to allow users to create text boxes

[AliciaMcMurchie1]

I've created an Experience with a web map, on which Editor-type users would like to create customizable text boxes on top of that web map. Is this functionality available? I've tried the following:

• Adding the Draw widget. Unfortunately, there is no text creation in the Experience Builder version of this widget.
  • The Web App Builder version of this widget was also deemed unsatisfactory by our users, because it doesn't support text boxes, and they cannot select, drag, rotate, or resize text after placing it on the map.  
• Adding a Sketch layer to the web map. 
  • I don't believe this option will work, either, because the users of the Experience are Editor type and not the map owners.

Are there workaround or solutions I haven't mentioned, either in Experience builder or Web App Builder?

Currently there is the @RobertScheitlin__GISP Draw widget that does support text and has at least some of those editing options. At least, the text can be sized and rotated before it is placed. It can be used in Developer Edition or it could be hosted for use in Enterprise 11.

Text support is scheduled to be added to the default Draw widget sometime this year.

Thank you! Unfortunately, it looks like that won't satisfy the requirements of our users, but it's good to know that it is available.
