Cool in Pro: Find proper Coordinate System

I got a WGS84 GPS file in a region in Africa I have never worked in - and wanted to make a map in a suitable UTM projection. How to get it?
ArcGIS Pro has a cool feature to do so:

In the MapProperties - CoordinateSystems I was able to (1) set a spatial filter for suggested coordinate Systems by a layer (or known coordinates, or current extent, ...) and then search (in my case) for any UTM (2) zone that matches that area - done!

I think this is a pretty cool feature - helpful and straight forward! Like it!

Melita Kennedy‌ and her awesome colleague Brittney White‌ showed us this at User Conference‌ this morning!

The spatial filter button is available in ArcMap too, so glad it's been kept in Pro!

Note that this functionality is new at Pro 2.0!
