How do I remove headings from the legend in ArcGIS Pro

deleted-user-ansFH4hWCMNC

Does anyone know how I can remove the headings from the legend in ArcGIS Pro? Each layer in the legend can have headings, labels, patches, and descriptions - I just want the patches and labels, not the headings. It seems really simple, but I can't find a button for it or mention of it in the help. I'm not talking about the legend title that is usually something like "Legend". Thanks for your help!

You can also just turn the heading (and other text) off in the legend without deleting it from the symbology.

To do that follow these steps:

1. Expand the legend in the Contents pane

2. Select the legend item or items you want to edit

3. Open the Properties pane if it's not already open (you can open it by right-clicking on a selected legend item in the Contents pane and choosing Properties from the context menu)

4. In the Properties pane, under the "Show" section, toggle checkmarks to toggle visibility of the various legend texts

It's in the symbology properties of the layer. Right click the layer in the TOC, click 'symbology', then delete the text that you don't want in the legend.

Hi David,

Thanks for your feedback - it sounds like exactly what I'm trying to do. Where is the show section? I've included a screen shot of the properties pane.

Sorry, Thomas, I don't see a screenshot.

Make sure you have a legend item selected in the Contents pane, not the legend itself. The "Show" section should be easy to spot in the upper half f the legend item Properties pane. You should see 4 checkboxes with the words for each kind of legend text next to each checkbox.

DavidBarnes

OK. I see your screenshot now.

What your showing is the layer properties, not the legend item properties. Make sure you go to the legend in the Contents pane, not the map, and make sure you select a legend item within the legend, not a layer in a map.
