Show path of the icons/symbols used in symbology to plot points ("Unique Values") on map

ZoomerMarco — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:16:17 GMT

In my map I used the symbology-option to plot 5 different pointtypes (symbolclasses of 1 feature). As I experimented with several options of symbols (and different sizing, color, transparancy etc.) I kind of lost which are now the icons (picturefiles/picturemarkers) that are definately being used!

The exact filename and path of the symbols are not shown! (not even as a "hover over")

So I would like to get the possibility to see full name and path of the icons being used in symbology-classes.

I suspect one reason this doesn't already exist is because the file gets uploaded into Pro and is not continuously referenced. Still it would be nice if there was a way to store the filepath of the most recently uploaded thing. I have also lost some symbols this way.

Thank you for your comment of additional info @ZachBodenner !
I didn't realise that the upload into Pro might be the reason for ESRI not showing the paths.

But when have been changing the symbols frequently trying to get the best looks, I kind of get lost which symbols I finally used into my maps.

So yes, I still would like to have the path (and name) of all the uses symbols/icons in the different classes!
... and hope other Esrians will do too!
