The content settings in the configuration window allow you to select, change, or modify the content to display in the app. Depending on the app, you can choose a map, scene, or group of content, or add sections to display a variety of content (such as maps, scenes, apps, image and PDF files, and videos). For some apps, you can also configure the Map area.
If you need to edit the map or scene used by the app, you can click the provided links in the respective settings to open Map Viewer or Scene Viewer. Some apps have a details panel that's populated by the description from your web map's item details. You can click View item details to open the item page and edit the description to fit the needs of the app.
Most apps include the Map area configuration setting. This setting allows you to modify the Map view setting, which overrides the web map defaults and sets the default extent of the map within the map, and the Navigation boundary setting, which limits how far users can extend, zoom, and rotate the map. Some apps that use scenes or multiple maps may include only the Map view setting.
Note:
If you want the details panel to include different content than the map's description, turn off Express to view all settings where you can provide a custom description in the About settings for some apps.
