ArcGIS Pro 2.6 Living Atlas Legend

Orca654

After upgrading to ArcGIS Pro 2.6, Living Atlas cannot truly be disabled on the legend.

Even though you un-checked the item, and did not see any Living Atlas item on the Legend in the Layout view, however, after you export the layout to images or PDF, the Living Atlas items are still shown on the legend.

Hi Ming, 

You are probably running into something similar to BUG-000131306.  Until this issue is addressed you will need to create a legend slightly differently than you are doing now. We hope to have this issue addressed by the next release.

To get around the bug you will need to create a new legend that does not include this layer when the legend is created. You can do this in two ways. As you point out you can create the legend first and then add the service to the map.  If the service is already in the legend you can create a legend without this layer by selecting the layers you do want in your legend and then insert the legend.

 

From Add a legend—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation 

 

Optionally, if you don't want all the layers added to the legend, expand the map in the Contents pane and select the layers to add to the legend. If no layers are selected, a legend is added containing all applicable layers from the map contained in the default map frame.

 For more information please refer to the following thread: Unwanted Legend Item Appears After Export .

Hope this helps, 

Tom
