Create apps from maps
You can create a web app with a map using a variety of app builders. You can choose an app template with minimal to no configuration required or use one of the available builders to customize an app before publishing. Each of these options offers various functionality, such as query and edit tools, social media feeds, side-by-side map viewers, and layouts and color schemes.
Note:
Your organization may have specified brand colors or a logo to apply to apps created by members of your organization. When you create an app that supports these Shared theme settings, the specified settings will be applied instead of the default theme of the app.
When a published web app is based on a map, any changes made to the map, including its extent, layers, description, and so on, are reflected in the web app. If a map that was available to everyone in the organization is made private (or deleted), the map no longer appears in the app.
Tip:
To share an app publicly that contains subscriber content, you can configure it to allow access to the content through your organizational subscription. Your subscription will incur any credit costs. To determine how a specific app builder handles subscriber content, refer to the respective app documentation.
