topic How to repair data sources for multiple layers in ArcGIS Pro in ArcGIS Pro Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-repair-data-sources-for-multiple-layers-in/m-p/1277880#M67891 <P>I am finding that it is very cumbersome to repair data sources for multiple layers in ArcGIS Pro. For example, if you change the location of your files in your directory (as happens when you migrate to One-Drive or change any folder names), then you need to fix data sources for all layers in all maps. In ArcMap, it was possible to right-click on one broken layer and select Data--&gt;Repair Data Source, and it would automatically repair all layers with the same relative path (but different data sources). This does not seem to be possible in ArcPro. It is necessary to do each layer individually, which can be a mammoth task if you have many maps each with many layers.&nbsp; Why doesn't ArcPro provide this simple functionality?</P> Wed, 12 Apr 2023 16:47:18 GMT BenjamenWetherill 2023-04-12T16:47:18Z How to repair data sources for multiple layers in ArcGIS Pro https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-repair-data-sources-for-multiple-layers-in/m-p/1277880#M67891 <P>I am finding that it is very cumbersome to repair data sources for multiple layers in ArcGIS Pro.

As much as I like ArcPro, for me this one falls into the category of "aint broke don't fix it." Seemed like the Data-&gt;Repair Data Source worked just fine.</P> Wed, 12 Apr 2023 17:16:17 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-repair-data-sources-for-multiple-layers-in/m-p/1277904#M67896 ZachBodenner 2023-04-12T17:16:17Z Re: How to repair data sources for multiple layers in ArcGIS Pro https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-repair-data-sources-for-multiple-layers-in/m-p/1604699#M94820 <P>Not only is it faster one-time to correct, it did them all like that!!&nbsp; Nice of you to post that!</P> Thu, 10 Apr 2025 14:33:15 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-repair-data-sources-for-multiple-layers-in/m-p/1604699#M94820 TimBohn 2025-04-10T14:33:15Z Re: How to repair data sources for multiple layers in ArcGIS Pro https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-repair-data-sources-for-multiple-layers-in/m-p/1612263#M95578 <P>Yes the help file on this one need to be very specific of here to click.
