You can resize them or move them behind the map, but I don't think you can delete them. You can get at them by clicking the Insert menu item and opening the Dynamic Text item. It's under the Layout section.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="credit.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/65509iF9FA0FC17C820008/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="credit.png" alt="credit.png" /></span></P><P>Click on the dynamic text to change it</P> Thu, 16 Mar 2023 19:56:50 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/remove-auto-generated-text-from-basemaps-in-arcgis/m-p/1268736#M66776 KenBuja 2023-03-16T19:56:50Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/remove-auto-generated-text-from-basemaps-in-arcgis/m-p/1269014#M66805 <P>Somehow it seems wrong for an Esri guy to tell us how to remove Esri credits from our maps. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 17 Mar 2023 15:57:59 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/remove-auto-generated-text-from-basemaps-in-arcgis/m-p/1269014#M66805 Brian_Wilson 2023-03-17T15:57:59Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/remove-auto-generated-text-from-basemaps-in-arcgis/m-p/1269022#M66807 <P>Haha!&nbsp; I know!&nbsp; Right?</P> Fri, 17 Mar 2023 16:04:21 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/remove-auto-generated-text-from-basemaps-in-arcgis/m-p/1269022#M66807 Robert_LeClair 2023-03-17T16:04:21Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/remove-auto-generated-text-from-basemaps-in-arcgis/m-p/1515066#M86457 <P>Try Dynamic Text then Layout "Service Layer Credits"</P> Mon, 05 Aug 2024 17:13:57 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/remove-auto-generated-text-from-basemaps-in-arcgis/m-p/1515066#M86457 Maya 2024-08-05T17:13:57Z
