In ArcGIS for desktop we can deselect features from particular layers in the event that we inadvertently select features from multiple layers - it would be nice to see that functionality return in ArcGIS Pro.
Please note that this update did NOT restore the full functionality available in ArcMap. I have started another Idea here:
https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/deselect-and-flash-individual-features-from/idi-p/1633546
This idea requests parity to ArcMap functionality (allowing users to deselect and flash individual features).

This Idea has been implemented in ArcGIS Pro 3.2. Please see the What's New documentation for more new features in Pro 3.2.
The Your Ideas in ArcGIS Pro 3.2 blog and video have been posted to the Esri Community blog. You can take a look at these to see your idea and all others that were implemented in this release of ArcGIS Pro.
😀 🤞
@CathyAppleton ArcGIS Pro 3.2 currently scheduled for release next week provided nothing crazy comes up 🙂
@TanuHoque Thank you, glad to see this is in the Product Plan!!!!! Any idea what release it will be included with??
Thanks, Cathy
Hi, is there a way to see status update on this request? I also would like to see this done ASAP.
Yes, I speak for several editors who will be going to Parcel Fabric in Pro from Arcmap and this is something they have relied on in Arcmap. Why Pro doesn't have this functionality is a backward step, not forward. Please push to have in next Pro upgrade!!!!
Yes please!!! @ZFFEC THIS!!! ESRI, please fix this! Also, in Pro, when you have features selected, you can't see how many unless you expand the TOC window. In Desktop, it would just hide that part of the layer name that didn't fit and keep the "selectable, clear, and count" column fixed. For those of us doing a lot of editing of multiple layers on the daily, this is a real drawback in wanting to move to Pro.
I can't agree more with the comments in this thread. The TOC in Pro is a real efficiency killer compared to how it worked in Desktop. In Desktop when I have a map used for editing with numerous layers, I always have the TOC set to List by Selection. In that view I can toggle visibility, selectability, and clear selection sets from specific layers right in one panel view.
Thanks @KenW !
@KoryKramer I have added my Kudos and from my other personal account as well.
Thank you for the comment @KenW I took a look and it doesn't appear that you added your kudos to the idea. While comments are important, kudos (the number of votes) that an idea receives is one of the primary pieces of data that we use to determine traction and trends as we monitor idea activity over time.

Thank you for your participation in the community and for helping us prioritize future development efforts for ArcGIS Pro.
Just stumbled upon this issue as well and were in 2022 still waiting for this improvement? I am running 2.9.3 . Like JoFlo I am trying to transition to fully to Pro and I cant say it any better than they did. Making the transition to Pro has been very frustrating especially for database management of large environments. But to echo above putting basic/logical quality of life improvements that ArcMap has already and Pro doesn't and makes it an extra 5 to 10 steps doesn't bode well for people to move from ArcMap especially when ESRI chest beats ArcGIS Pro everywhere states its way better than ArcMap. Lastly putting a comment here to keep this request alive and that it is needed.
Long time ArcMap user... and trying to transition to working fully in Pro. I echo the above comments. The ability to quickly de-select features from the Selection Pane was so efficient. Not incorporating basic functionality like this from ArcMap makes the transition to Pro all the more frustrating. PLEASE save users some frustration and a bunch of clicks and bring this functionality forward to Pro. Thank you.
Hi @Anonymous User we're monitoring demand for this - please be sure to add your support by giving the idea a kudo (thumbs up). Thank you!
I was hoping this thread would lead me to some obvious solution I was missing - I'm also saddened to see that we've lost this capability in Pro. Agreed, it certainly reduces the efficiency, and it's not always practical to have only one layer selectable. It's mostly a tease to have the selection tab and then not be able to go in there and have the functionality we did in Desktop.
I also agree. This feature was extremely useful in ArcMap Desktop. I often find myself in the situation where I have to remove selections in multiple layers and it's a pain.
You should make sure all the options for List by Selection follow in the Pro version. What's the point of upgrading a software if you don't migrate the features/tools that were already existing?
The "List by Selection" pane in ArcMap was so easy to use. It has had its functionality completely stripped in ArcPro. It is such a hassle to use now and is such an important part of editing workflows. Please allow us to toggle visibility, selectability, and allow us to clear selection all in the pane.
I agree with the above comments... I would like to have the ability to toggle selectability, visibility, and be able to clear selections all in the table of contents like in Desktop. Something that was an all in one option before is now buried in a series of menus and clicks.
In ArcMap the List by Selection Pane (or whatever it is called) in the table of contents allowed us to quickly clear a selection for a particular layer by clicking on "Click Layer to clear layer selection." In ArcGIS Pro it is much more cumbersome. We have to right click on each layer, navigate to Selection, then click on Clear Selection. This makes a task that use to take one click into a task that takes a right click and two additional clicks. In addition, the first drop down menu has 25 options which makes it difficult to find "Selection."
Request 1: Bring back the button to clear layer selection so it is easier to find.
Request 2: Projects may have enough layers such that it requires the use of the slider tool in the selection pane to see results. This makes the workflow more cumbersome! I enjoyed the ability to view selectable layers on top.
Request 3: On the List by Selection add a button to "Only select from this layer" This button will clear the current selection of all the other layers, however on any new selection the other layers will still be selectable.
These ideas will make it easier to work with selected layers for example if in one selection we select roads, and then the very next moment were selecting boundary polygons, then back to roads.... I dont want to have to change which layers are selectable each time. I would rather just hit clear selection.

Aha, I see - you're after the full panel-like control, that supports feature selection management and layer selectability.
I'll check with the team responsible for that section of the software and let you know.
Nathan,
Thank you for the reply. While your method does allow for the clearing of selected features on a layer by layer basis, why not keep the existing functionality from ArcGIS Desktop? It is nit picky but I do feel that the change is a step backwards in efficiency.
ArcGIS Desktop allows for easy deselecting from a single tab while you need to go into a context menu for each layer you want to deselect in ArcGIS Pro. Implementing the desktop selection/deselection would be a nice quality of life improvement.
Thanks,
Kerwin Talbot
Hi Kerwin,
Good news - this is available in ArcGIS Pro, in two locations.
[1] The layer's context menu: right-click layer in TOC, expand 'Selection', click 'Clear Selection'
[2] On the Feature Layer > Data ribbon tab: select the layer in the TOC, on the ribbon click on the Data sub-tab for the Feature Layer context group, and click the Clear button
Hope this helps you with your workflows!
Regards, Nathan.
