What's New in Pro 3.0+

You can now  add a map to a report . Maps that you add to the report header or footer are static. You can activate the map frame to adjust the map extent or scale. Maps that you add to a group header, group footer, or details subsection are dynamic. In the report view, the map frame of a dynamic map cannot be activated; however, the exported result updates in scale and extent to reflect the feature or features included in that subsection.

If you have  configured an ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0 Knowledge Server  appropriately, you can create a new investigation and knowledge graph using a Neo4j database as a NoSQL data store.

A new  Geographic layout  is available for link charts. Entities in the link chart are positioned on a map using their spatial geometry. Spatial data can also be added to the link chart and a basemap can be used to provide context for the knowledge graph's spatial entities.

For more new functionality and updated licensing information, see  ArcGIS Knowledge  in the Data management and workflows section.

You can create  export presets  for maps and layouts in ArcGIS Pro. Export presets save all the settings for a particular export type. When you export a map or layout, you can select a default preset or a custom preset you created. This allows for a faster and more consistent export experience.

Presets are available in the export gallery on the Share tab of the ribbon. You can also browse to preset files (.xprt) on the file system. Presets can be created for any export type.

The  Color Vision Deficiency Simulator  tool can simulate a map, layout or report in three modes of color vision deficiency: protanopia (a type of red color blindness), deuteranopia (a type of green color blindness), and tritanopia (a type of blue color blindness). Only one mode can be applied at a time. Each mode transforms the contents of the view to make it appear as it would to a person with a color vision deficiency. The color vision deficiency simulation modes are available on the View tab for maps, layouts, and reports.

When you change the page size or orientation of a layout, you can  automatically resize and reposition layout elements . Additionally, the new Duplicate Layout command  creates a new layout at a different page size from an existing layout. All layout elements are preserved and can be automatically resized and repositioned.

You can  time-enable  point, 3D object, or building scene layers to visualize 3D content temporally. For example, you can use the time slider to visualize building construction dates for a time range or apply a definition query to see which trees have been inspected within the past year. You can use this new capability to query, visualize, and analyze 3D content across desktop and web clients.

 Scale-based label sizing  allows you to smoothly change the text size of labels as you move across the scales of your map. This sizing helps to reduce visual density at smaller scales while retaining an appropriate relative size at larger scales. This new functionality reduces the need for multiple label classes, and can be used in 2D maps and vector tiles.

You can set  edit session options  to require editing to be  enabled manually  and either let ArcGIS Pro manage workspace edit sessions or specify that a workspace be selected manually. Explicitly starting editing is also available as a  system administrator setting .

If you choose the option to use single workspace edit sessions, when you start editing in a non-versioned enterprise geodatabase workspace, you can manually save and discard edits on the Edit tab of the ribbon.

A customizable environment for  working with keyboard shortcuts  is available on the new Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box. You can search for default shortcuts, modify existing shortcuts, and add new ones. You can display all shortcuts or just those that work in the current application state—for example, when a map view is active. Warnings are given if the same shortcut is assigned to commands that potentially conflict with each other.

You can now create  thematic map series . In contrast to other map series types, in a thematic map series, the map frame on each page keeps the same extent, and the map data updates instead. Each page of the map series shows a different layer or group of layers in the map. The map series is built by iterating through all the features in a  radio group layer , creating a page for each layer. Only one layer from the radio group is visible for each page; the other layers in the group are not visible. Layers outside the radio group are visible on each page in the map series.

Four new  field data types  are available:

• Big integer—Supports 64-bit data. Stores whole numbers that exceed the range of -2.14 billion to 2.14 billion.
• Timestamp offset—Stores date and time values and can include a coordinated universal time (UTC) offset, such as 5/16/2023 10:00:00 AM -07:00.
• Date only—Stores a date value only, such as 2023-04-12.
• Time only—Stores a time value only, such as 10:00 AM.

You can manage, visualize, and explore collections of  oriented imagery  on a map. Oriented imagery includes oblique drone imagery, close-range inspection images, and street-level images taken by mobile devices.

Once an image collection is assembled in an oriented imagery dataset, it can be viewed on a map as an oriented imagery layer (with an optional footprint layer). The oriented imagery layer is an extended point feature layer that records the geographic location in which an image was acquired, the path to the image, and key metadata. The footprint layer is a visual reference showing the map locations that correspond to each image's field of view.

When you click a map location, the Oriented Imagery Viewer pane displays the best available image of that location. The best image for the location is based on the distance of the camera from the selected location, the camera heading (direction), and the obliquity (camera pitch). As you pan and zoom the image, its footprint updates dynamically on the map. You can use the Navigation tool  and Image Gallery tool  to explore additional images of the location.

Oriented imagery layers can be shared to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2 portals.

n local and global scenes, you can now add a  3D basemap  when your active portal is set to ArcGIS Online. 3D basemaps enhance your scene with OpenStreetMap content that includes 3D buildings, trees, and labels. 3D basemaps are available for commonly used vector tile basemap types such as Topographic, Navigation, and Navigation (Dark).
