When exporting data in ArcMap, the prompt below is displayed.
In ArcPro, this prompt is not displayed. Instead, you can change the settings for exporting data in Project > Options > Geoprocessing (see below). By checking or unchecking the box, any exported data for the project is either always added or never added to the map.
However, in my work, I sometimes want an export to be added to the map, while another export I do not want added to the map. It just depends on the task in the project.
I recommend that a prompt be added to ArcPro, like that in ArcMap, however, this prompt could be optional, by checking or unchecking a box in settings. It could read: “Display prompt asking to add exported data to the map as a layer”. If this box is unchecked, than the user would have to check or uncheck the box that is currently in Pro: “Add output datasets to an open map”.
We will be watching this request to see if it's a common situation. Give the asynchronous/background execution of tools it is unlikely this would be implemented as a prompt dialog asking if you want to add the data to a map when the tool completes. More likely if this were implemented it would be a checkbox or toggle somewhere on the export dialog that you check before running, and when the tool completes in the background the data is either added or not based on your choice.
Yes I agree. A simple toggle button on the export pane/window would be very useful.
