This is a geologic map legend, showing polygon fills, with some of the patches arranged next to a paragraph. The paragraph that describes the group of patches can be created as dynamic text. A paragraph description avoids a lot of redundancy in describing each polygon symbol independently. I would like to be able to arrange my legend like this, then&nbsp;be able to change the colors in the map and have the legend remain in sync.&nbsp;</P><P style="background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;">&nbsp;</P><P style="background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;"><IMG class="image-1 jive-image" height="693" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/504044_pastedImage_1.png" style="border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; margin: 2px 20px 0px;" width="658" />"</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 22 Jun 2021 09:01:47 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/ability-to-quot-explode-quot-legend-items-while/idc-p/949532#M6875 KoryKramer 2021-06-22T09:01:47Z
