Choose Your Sauce- Selection<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To prime the app for editing, you can decide which layers are selectable<\/strong> by default.<\/strong> This is kind of a big deal because… If all<\/em> the layers are selectable, making a selection on the map can grab loads of features across different layers. Then you have to take the time to pick out the features you need.<\/p>\n

Setting selectable layers in advance can speed up that process. For example, if you use the app to update hydrants, you can set the Hydrants layer as the only selectable layer. Then when you make a selection, hydrants are the only features that get selected.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2960533,"id":2960533,"title":"Edit your way 6b Selection 440 3","filename":"Edit-your-way-6b-Selection-440-3.png","filesize":229995,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Edit-your-way-6b-Selection-440-3.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/web-editor\/data-management\/edit-your-way\/edit-your-way-6b-selection-440-3","alt":"Targeted selection makes for faster editing.","author":"320122","description":"","caption":"","name":"edit-your-way-6b-selection-440-3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2959694,"date":"2026-03-16 19:49:13","modified":"2026-03-16 19:49:43","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":977,"height":440,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Edit-your-way-6b-Selection-440-3-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Edit-your-way-6b-Selection-440-3.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":209,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Edit-your-way-6b-Selection-440-3.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":346,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Edit-your-way-6b-Selection-440-3.png","large-width":977,"large-height":440,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Edit-your-way-6b-Selection-440-3.png","1536x1536-width":977,"1536x1536-height":440,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Edit-your-way-6b-Selection-440-3.png","2048x2048-width":977,"2048x2048-height":440,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Edit-your-way-6b-Selection-440-3-826x372.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":372,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Edit-your-way-6b-Selection-440-3.png","wide_image-width":977,"wide_image-height":440}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
