The context is when a layer is saved to memory workspace and added to a map, then ArcGIS Pro - and the map - are closed and re-opened. The layer would be automatically removed from the map and a message would pop up notifying the user "the following memory workspace layers have been automatically removed from the map:" followed by a list of the layers that were removed and an option to add them back to the map as broken layers.</P><P>This may help reinforce to new users what the memory workspace option does. It may also help save users time searching for a data source for a broken layer that doesn't exist because they forgot they saved it to memory.</P><P>Currently, the layer remains in the Contents pane as a broken layer with no notification.</P> Thu, 02 Oct 2025 21:46:29 GMT bdewitt_olsson 2025-10-02T21:46:29Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/automatically-remove-memory-workspace-layers-when/idi-p/1639646 <P>This idea builds on the new "memory workspace" output option for geoprocessing tools added in 3.5.
