ArcGIS Web Editor on ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4

By Albert Schelin and Martin Copping

ArcGIS Web Editor is a web application designed to make editing GIS data quicker and more seamless than ever before. It offers an easy-to-use interface, navigation buttons for faster movement during editing, and tools tailored to various editing workflows. 

Web Editor simplifies the editing process for all users. For experienced GIS professionals, it serves as a convenient application that complements GIS data editing workflows in ArcGIS Pro. Additionally, Web Editor empowers non-traditional GIS users to make edits with its user-friendly experience, while minimizing errors, as it enforces editing rules and parameters. This application not only accelerates the editing process but also helps maintain data quality. 

ArcGIS Web Editor on ArcGIS Enterprise includes capabilities in the ArcGIS Online version like editing, drawing, selection, and navigation tools, plus some additional ArcGIS Enterprise-specific functionality. For example, users can leverage the power of multiuser editing through Branch Versioning in Web Editor on ArcGIS Enterprise. ArcGIS Enterprise users can also edit Utility Networks using ArcGIS Web Editor. For more information on enterprise capabilities available for ArcGIS Web Editor, check out this blog.
