ArcGIS Pro 2.7 was released on December 16th, 2020. For information on the latest updates, see the ArcGIS Pro Release Notes.
Our goal is to build the best GIS software available. This ArcGIS Pro Roadmap* gives you a sneak peek of what we're focusing on for the near, mid and long-term of ArcGIS Pro development. This gives our current estimate of when each capability will be released. Some new capabilities will be made available for testing through Early Adopters Programs prior to a release. We'll revise the roadmap throughout the year to ensure it reflects the latest information.

* Capabilities on this roadmap are tentative and subject to change, delay, or cancellation. The continued development or release of a capability is at the sole discretion of Esri.
ArcGIS Pro roadmap
Near-term (next release or two)
Data Engineering – A guided experience to explore your data, add and calculate new variables (attribute fields) with spatial and statistical characteristics, and prepare data for use in machine learning workflows.
Floor Aware Mapping and Editing - A simple information model supporting the identification and configuration of map layers consisting of indoor information for multi-floor buildings for visualization, data management, and analytics of indoor data across the ArcGIS platform.
Machine Learning for Point Clouds - Extend the work we’ve been doing with deep learning for raster data to include training and classification tools for point clouds.
Suitability Model Sharing - Share and execute raster suitability models using ArcGIS Enterprise and raster analytics in ArcGIS Image Server.
Presence-only Prediction: An powerful way to model relationships between occurrence of an event and underlying factors, where difficult to collect representative absence data is not required.
Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) - Support for IFC, the open file format specification to describe architectural, building, and construction industry data as a read-only data source.
Aviation Charting - Aviation Charting Extension for building Enroute, Terminal, and other aeronautical charts.
Roof Editing in Stereo – Tools specifically designed to create and edit pitches, ridge lines, gables and other roof specific features.
Geoprocessing Credit Estimator - A command to estimate the number of ArcGIS credits will be added to the approximately 20 geoprocessing tools that consume credits.
Indoor Positioning - The ability to configure an IPS workspace, share to the IPS survey mobile app, process the survey data, and share indoor positioning data to Runtime-powered apps.
Big Data Connection Wizard - A single, guided experience enabling you to connect to your datasets and flexibly set properties like time and geometry.
Upgrade Python Environment - Upgrade a python environment created in a previous version to the current version of ArcGIS Pro.
Mid-term (next two or three releases)
Knowledge Graphs - Provides a way to create, visualize, and query a graph network containing entities and relationships across ArcGIS.
Catalog Layers - Manage and visualize a collection of layers of different types dynamically based on location and other attributes.
Point Cloud Scene Layer Data Management - Add, Delete, Change very large point cloud services based on referenced data sources.
Projects in the Enterprise - Use your Portal to share projects, collaborate and work more effectively with others in your organization.
Voxel Layer Sharing - Share Voxel Scene Layers for use in web, desktop and mobile apps.
Presentations - Create and share a collection of map and scene views along with titles, graphics, and descriptive text as presentations.
Dynamic Feature Clustering - Dynamic grouping of features as proportional symbols in order to visualize areas with greater and lesser numbers of features when displaying data at varying scales.
Animated symbols - Symbols that dynamically change to show direction of movement, change in intensity, or fluctuations in value to support scientific temporal visualizations.
Spatio-temporal Density Analysis - Kernel Density will be enhanced to calculate density for observations that changes over space and time.
Multiscale GWR - An important complement to traditional Geographically Weighted Regression which allows for different bandwidths to be used for each covariate in the model.
Scientific Data Ingestion– Improve the performance and scalability of multidimensional features ingest from scientific data.
Big Data Analytic Warehouses - Enhance ArcGIS ability to explore, visualize, analyze and share data stored in big data analytic warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake)
Parcel Fabric 3D Cadastre - support for 3D cadastre requirements using multipatch geometry, 3D Least Squares Adjustment (LSA) and data flow
Parcel Lineage - graphical depiction of parcel lineage and association to the legal record
Managed Indoor Data Pipeline - Managed indoor data pipelines will consist of a suite of new capabilities aimed at organizations desiring a coordinated control process for managing recurring change to floor plans and other indoor information provided by designers and contractors, or in-house operations teams when new construction, remodeling, or other activities alter source information that must subsequently be reflected in the indoor system of record/engagement.
Long-term (in the plan, no specific release currently)
Terrain Editing - Edit features participating in a terrain dataset. Add, remove and replace data referenced by terrains.
Materials Authoring – Author properties on surfaces to support reflectivity, roughness, and other properties for more photo realistic visualizations in 3D scenes.
High Fidelity Rendering - A series of display improvements to support more photo-realistic 3D scene visualizations.
3D Mesh as Ground - The ability to use integrated mesh or TIN information as a true triangulated ground surface that would be more precise than our raster surfaces and allow structures such as tunnels and mines.
Simulation Modeling - Simulate complex phenomena like airflow and fluid dynamics in 3D/4D based on physical models.
Integrated Mesh Scene Layer Data Management - Add, Delete, Change very large integrated mesh services based on SLPK
64-Bit Object ID - Enhancing ArcGIS platform ability to work with very large datasets
New Data Types – BigInteger, Timestamp with Time zone - Add support for new data types required for critical user workflows related to time, observation data etc.
Parcel Fabric Coordinate Based Cadastre – support field and back office workflows for coordinate based cadastre where coordinates define the legal boundaries
