FAQ

Does ArcGIS Instant Apps replace ArcGIS Configurable Apps?

ArcGIS Instant Apps is the next generation of configurable web mapping apps. All Instant Apps templates use the latest ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.x components. ArcGIS Configurable Apps will continue to be available, but will eventually be moved into mature support and retired. Many Configurable Apps templates have already been migrated to use the Instant Apps configuration experience, and more are planned to be migrated in the future.

Can I use subscriber and premium content as a data source in an app shared with the public?

Yes. When you publish your app, a proxy is automatically created for subscriber content and you'll be prompted to authorize premium content so anonymous users don't need to sign in to access the content if you share the app publicly. Authorizing premium content will consume credits based on the number of times your app is viewed.

Can I create a copy of an app?

Yes, you can save a copy of apps that you create with Instant Apps. On the My Apps tab, click the options menu on the app card, and choose Save a Copy. A new app is created and added to your content. This option allows you to use a copy of an existing app as a template for a new one. You can also click Choose to create and configure a new app using the same template and settings as an existing app.

Can I download an app template?

No, Instant Apps doesn't support downloading the app templates.

How can I provide feedback?
