Convert Feature Class Annotation to Map Graphic Annotation

Is it possible to convert/transfer feature class anno into map graphics text? In ArcMap annotation could be copied into a map anno layer.

Thanks, in this case I have feature class anno that was created in Pro and would like to convert it to a graphics layer. This can be done in ArcMap.

Did you find the solution? I am now facing the same problem too. in ArcMap, I just simply copy and paste the annotation to graphic layer. But it seems not working in ArcGIS Pro..

Unfortunately I did not and had to manually re-create all the anno as graphics. Sorry to hear this is still an issue almost 2 years later.

I came here to figure out the same thing. Disappointed its not an option yet. I created an Idea to see if we can get this functionality: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/convert-annotation-to-graphics/idi-p/1654601/jump-to/first-unread-message
