ArcGIS Experience Builder allows you to transform data into web apps and web pages with low or no code. You can explore design decisions with customizable templates , access ready-to-use widgets that are integrated with 2D and 3D, and build custom tools to deliver modern web experiences.

With ArcGIS Experience Builder, you can do the following:

• Optimize mobile experiences by configuring unique layouts on mobile, tablet, and desktop separately with one URL.
• Design experiences or use templates.
• Build custom workflows.
• Interact with 2D and 3D content in one app.
• Integrate with ArcGIS Survey123 and other apps to streamline processes.
• Customize widgets and templates with an extensible framework for developers.

The developer edition allows you to build custom widgets and themes, and Experience Builder in ArcGIS Enterprise allows you to add custom widgets, but otherwise all three offerings have the same functionality. ArcGIS Experience Builder is included with ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. The developer edition is available for download from developers.arcgis.com. You can install the developer edition locally to create web apps and deploy them to web servers.

The latest Experience Builder features are available first in ArcGIS Online and are added to the developer edition three to four weeks later. Both have three releases each year. Experience Builder in ArcGIS Enterprise has two releases each year and includes all nonbeta features from ArcGIS Online.

A mobile-optimized design, flexible layouts to build web apps and pages, integrated 2D and 3D, and actions to connect widgets for workflows are key features in ArcGIS Experience Builder that are not available in ArcGIS Web AppBuilder.

Currently, ArcGIS Web AppBuilder has more widgets than ArcGIS Experience Builder. However, functional parity between the two offerings is in progress.

Yes. ArcGIS Experience Builder will reach most of the functional parity of ArcGIS Web AppBuilder through incremental releases. For more information, see the functionality matrix for Web AppBuilder and Experience Builder.

ArcGIS Web AppBuilder is being retired. Web AppBuilder uses the Esri legacy JavaScript SDK, version 3.x of ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript, which will be retired in July 2024. As its underlying technology retires, Web AppBuilder will also be retired. The developer edition of Web AppBuilder was retired in July 2024, Web AppBuilder in ArcGIS Enterprise will have its final release in the first half of 2025, and Web AppBuilder in ArcGIS Online will be retired in the fourth quarter of 2025.

If you currently use ArcGIS Web AppBuilder, consider migrating your apps to ArcGIS Experience Builder. It is recommended that you start new app projects in Experience Builder. For more information and for migration resources, see Web AppBuilder roadmap for retirement.

No. You must reconfigure apps created with ArcGIS Web AppBuilder if you decide to move them to ArcGIS Experience Builder.

Yes. You can add the new Map Viewer-generated maps to ArcGIS Experience Builder and ArcGIS Web AppBuilder. Features such as group layer, clustering, and map rotation, which are only available in the new Map Viewer-generated maps, are supported in ArcGIS Experience Builder but not in ArcGIS Web AppBuilder.

Starting with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0, you can add ArcGIS Experience Builder custom widgets, meaning you can extend ArcGIS Experience Builder in ArcGIS Enterprise like you can with ArcGIS Web AppBuilder.

No. While ArcGIS Experience Builder maintains a similar programming pattern for building custom widgets, all widgets must be rewritten to work within the new framework. ArcGIS Experience Builder is built on ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript, whereas ArcGIS Web AppBuilder is built on version 3.x of the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript.

Additionally, ArcGIS Experience Builder uses modern web development technologies, including React and TypeScript, which are part of the new widget development platform.

Create the proxy item by following the steps in the Authorize subscriber layers section of the Use ArcGIS Living Atlas subscriber content in maps, scenes, and apps blog article.

Yes. You can generate a Web Experience template or duplicate the Web Experience item as a starting point for creating similar web experiences. To create a template, click the More options button on the builder toolbar and choose Generate template. To create a copy of an experience or template that you own (or if you're an organization administrator), click the More options button on the item card in the respective gallery and choose Duplicate.

For improved security, uploading SVG and SVGZ images is no longer supported as of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.
