Pause a Definition Query

It would be handy to be able to temporarily pause a definition query, rather than having to save the query, remove it, then load it again after working with the un-DefQ'ed data.

ArcGIS Pro supports that already. All you need to do is click on the check box to de-activate your def query.

or, you can do it from the ribbon UI too

Ah, that's handy. Searched help and community for that functionality but could not find any documentation.

thanks @sgambrel_Bouldercounty

Based on that I'm closing this idea as "already offered"

here is the link to ArcGIS Pro help about def queries and having multiple queries with one or none being the active one.
