Geovonic widgets bring enhanced capabilities to ArcGIS Experience Builder. If you’re using ArcGIS Enterprise, this guide walks you through purchasing a widget, registering your portal, and activating the widget via a manifest and license file.

✅ This guide is for ArcGIS Enterprise users using Experience Builder 1.13 or later.

For ArcGIS Online, consider using our Hosted Experience Builder or you can download the widget code to use in your own local developer edition.



🛒 Step 1 – Purchase and Access Your Widget

Visit Geovonic Extensions for ArcGIS, choose the widget you want (e.g. Save Map State), and complete the checkout process.

After purchase, you’ll be taken to your My Account dashboard where you can manage extensions and link your ArcGIS portal.

1. Open the email from Geovonic Extensions.

2. Click Activate Account.

3. Wait for the confirmation message.

🔗 Step 3 – Register Your ArcGIS Portal

To associate the widget with your portal:

1. In My Account, select Downloads.

2. Choose ArcGIS Enterprise Experience Builder from the download dropdown.

3. You’ll be prompted to register your portal URL (e.g. https://gis.yourorg.com).

⚠️ You can only register one portal per subscription.






🔧 Step 4 – Add the Widget Manifest to ArcGIS Enterprise

Now head over to your ArcGIS Enterprise portal:

1. Go to Content > New Item.

2. Choose Experience Builder widget as the item type.

3. Paste the Manifest URL provided in your Geovonic account.

This creates the widget item in your portal.




🔐 Step 5 – Download and Apply the License File

Back in the Geovonic site:

1. Click Download license file (.lic).

2. In your ArcGIS portal, open Experience Builder and add the widget to a new or existing app.

3. In the widget’s settings panel, drag and drop your .lic file into the License Settings section.

Once the license is validated, the widget becomes fully functional.





🧪 Step 6 – Build and Deploy

You’re now ready to use the widget in your ArcGIS Enterprise Experience Builder apps. Build, test, and deploy as many apps as you like — your license covers unlimited use within your registered portal.
