In ArcGIS Pro, setting up map layouts with multiple layers across different map frames has been difficult since the software’s release. The issue is that there’s no option to “lock layers” or “lock styles” within a map frame.
If this feature existed, users could reuse the same map across multiple map frames in a single layout, instead of having to create numerous duplicate maps with only minor differences.
Adding this functionality would be a major quality-of-life improvement, especially for cartographers and anyone who regularly builds complex map layouts.
