"Add to Legend" option in context-menu of Table of Contents

[AdamForknall]

Adding a layer to the legend requires more effort than it should, if the legend is set to not automatically add new layers. Instead of having to click through 3 or 4 menus/dialogs, it would be ideal if a layer could be right-clicked in the Table of Contents, and the option "Add to Legend" be presented if a legend is existing in the layout.

Just upgraded to the latest (3.3.2) and was hoping this had happened. It seems SO simple. We need to start lobbying for upvotes!

Hopefully it's because there are some big re-designs happening with the legend UI? The difficulty of the legend is the number one complaint at my company.

I voted for this over 3 years ago. Any movement??????

This is a common point of confusion among students, I'll add. I am really disappointed with how clunky and unintuitive legend controls are in Pro. ArcMap is so much simpler.

I came to see if others were at frustrated as I am with this. In Pro 98% of the time there are multiple ways to do something, yet there is only one way to add an item to a legend, when you don't have it set to automatically add. I remember just getting into Pro years ago and I had to ask a coworker multiple times because there was not a simple right-click add to legend that was so logical to me.

When creating a map within a layout, I need to add several features to the legend. I can be challenging to drag the feature class to find the legend especially when there is a lot of features within the map. I would love to see an option to right click on the feature class and choose an "Add to legend" button that will automatically add my feature class to the legend without having to drag, scroll and drop the feature class in the legend group.

For everyone following this Idea. Just wait a few more months.

We can then celebrate it being a DECADE OLD Idea.... 🤣🤣
'Bring back Catalog' is just 2 months older from what I can find. I can't see through my tears. 


Just spent a few minutes looking for this as I was sure I must be missing a button or something. 
Then saw this Idea when I wanted to come & post the same. 

It must be a fundamental development platform issue that makes it impossible to implement.

It would be convenient to be able to send layers directly to an active legend by right clicking on the desired layer(s) and then have the option "send to" and then you can pick legend of choice if there are more than one legends. The "send to" option in general may also useful for other purposes in layout and map view when right clicking on a layer/raster/table and etc.
