### 29 June 2026 

- New! [Connect for ArcGIS API documentation](https://help.cartinuum.com/space/GC1/4538957826/Connect+for+ArcGIS+API+documentation) is now available for easier integration. View the documentation for endpoint details and examples.
- Updated npm dependencies to remediate known vulnerabilities and strengthen overall security.
  - Users must download the latest Connect for ArcGIS Relay Service from the Admin Portal and reinstall it to apply the update.
- Users can reorder the layers list in the Connect for ArcGIS widget through its properties.

### 11 June 2026 

- Managed Experience Builder for ArcGIS upgraded to version 1.20
- Added configurable hover styling for result highlights on map. When users hover over a result, the corresponding feature is highlighted on the map, and the hover effect can now be customized by adjusting the fill, outline, transparency, and outline weight.
- The active ArcGIS portal now appears at login, and the portal URL is saved in the Change Portal URL list after login.

### 18 May 2026

- Upgraded Hosted Experience Builder to version 1.19
  - Known issue:
    - In Experience Builder version 1.19, the previous “Shared with me” and “Owned by me” options have been replaced by “My content,” “My organization,” and “My groups.” However, there is a defect where the “My organization” and “My groups” tabs are missing in Experience Builder Developer Edition.
      - Impact: users who need to edit applications they do not own, as they are unable to locate them through the interface.
      - Workaround: users can request the app owner to share the direct app URL, or manually access the app by constructing the URL using the format `https://app.cartinuum.com/container/au/exb-[your-hostedexbID]/builder/?appId=[Your-App-ID]` if the App ID is known.
- Widget theming enhancements
  - Added compatibility with the Enhanced Theme system introduced in Experience Builder v1.19+
  - Improved and standardized theme behavior for Experience Builder versions earlier than v1.18
- Widget properties now support inline rename and drag-and-drop reordering for Workflows, Searches, and Reports.

### 12 May 2026

- Added support for using the Connect for ArcGIS widget in a multi-page experience app.
  - Limitation: Connect for ArcGIS works with only one map per experience app.
- Fixed an issue where the Connect for ArcGIS widget crashes when the application if any ArcGIS feature layer service is broken or unavailable. Users can now access the widget properties to remove the broken layer before testing the widget in live mode or publishing the app.
- Fixed an issue that made Connect for ArcGIS unusable when users interacted while the data source was unavailable.
- Fixed an issue where search results exceeding 300 records now display maximum 300 returned results. Previously, the system blocked this and showed the message “No results displayed.”

### 30 April 2026

Hosted Experience Builder version 1.19 release has been rolled back.

We identified an issue that could cause intermittent hosted experience builder access failures. As a precaution, we reverted to v1.18.

No user data was affected. A fix is in progress and will be released in an upcoming version.
