Please let me chose to switch between content view and layout view independently when switching between the map view and map layout, like in ArcMap.
Thank you for submitting this idea @MiguelMartinezYordan
In order for this to be open for voting, we need to understand the request. When you say "content view" are you referring to the Contents pane?
So, are you requesting to be able to switch to a layout (Layout view) but not have the Contents pane update to be associated with the active layout view?
Please clarify the request so that we can understand what you're looking for.
Thank you!
Hi @MiguelMartinezYordan I looked at the images that you emailed the Esri Community team (it would be helpful for you to post such images here on the forum).
When a layout is active, it is possible to view a map's contents by expanding the map.
I'm sure you are already aware of this. Could you provide some context as to why viewing map contents like this doesn't work for you? Or alternatively, given the tabbed contents pane request, can you provide some details around the use case of viewing the layout contents when working in a map view?
Please add your marked up screenshot to the idea's description so that it is clear what the idea is and we can re-open it.
Thanks
Hi @MiguelMartinezYordan I wanted to check in on this one to see if we can get it moved out of the Needs Clarification status. I could update your original post with the screenshots that you sent, but we prefer for community members to do that if possible. Let me know which you prefer.
And if you have any responses to my questions above, those details will provide additional context for the development team.
Thanks
When you have 20 layouts all based on one map, and you need to print or export each layout with different layers on or off, every time you switch between layouts, the layers list collapse and you need to open it again in order to select witch layer will be on or off. If there was a Layout tab beside the content tan, then I can choose to stay always on the content tab while switching between layouts without affecting the layers list nor having to always open the map frame to see the list of layers.
Hello @MiguelMartinezYordan
I work on the Pro Layout team, and I think I'm starting to understand your issue. Would you mind verifying that I'm interpreting things correctly?
I'm sorry this is a currently a frustrating experience for you, thank you for reaching out. I hope I'm beginning to understand your request.
Cheers,
Aubri Kinghorn
