Inside the table of contents there's an under utilised tab, the List by Source tab. The reason, I feel, it is under utilised is because you can't do a lot with it, other than see the sources of your data. There's no real control or editing to be done here.
I think it'd be great if you could right click on a datasource and choose 'repoint source'. Often in production environments you load data first into a replica working geodatabase, being able to quickly swap this to the production database would be fantastic.
If it was smart enough to match the layers that are in both and leave, unchanged, non-matching layers, that would be great too.
It would also be great to 'export list of layers and sources to file' - essentially exposing this function: https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000011530 but allowing the user to save a table or text file.
I had been using Pro 3.2.1 and was able to set a source for multiple layers in the table of contents, list by data source, by right clicking and then change data source. I "upgraded" to 3.5, and this no longer works. There is only the option to remove the group of layers, and nothing else. Very useless.
Setting the data source in catalog is not efficient. I need to see the layers and what source they fall under like in list by source
I am re-installing 3.2.1 today until this gets put back in.
