Broken bookmarks in Arc Pro

MichaelMorgan4

In Arc Pro 3.3: I have a project that basically serves as my address management and dispatch data update project. My main map in this project is called "Addresses". I have several bookmarks created in this map representing different cities and unincorporated areas, and now most of these are "broken", i.e. they do not have a label, will not zoom or pan to their areas, and cannot even be deleted or reset. Bookmarks for other maps in the same project seem to work as normal. Is there some other way to get into the project file and remove the broken bookmarks?

I left a screen shot of what these bookmarks look like from the standard Map -> Bookmarks menu in Arc Pro.

I'm guessing the manage bookmarks option isn't working.

First I'd save a new copy of your APRX for this:

If you open the APRX using winzip or 7zip etc you have a folder called 'map'.  Inside there, the 'map.xml' seems to store the bookmark config.
I'd edit/delete what you need from there (When doing this, I would compare the map.xml from another working project with bookmarks to avoid any formatting mistakes or deletions).

I've not tried this and it's likely not recommended, and also again - do it on a completely isolated copy of your original, and backup the map.xml just-in-case anyway.
