Add label to an existing map

[sblau108YYC]

Hi All,

I'm new to ArcGIS and my question is related to label.  Our home page has a map in the background and I believed that are other map layers.  I was asked to add a date label on top on it.  How can I do that? and is there an example?

TIA

Steve

Hi Steve,

There's a help page for everyone, and this one's for you:

https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/text/text-on-a-map.htm

I think the section which you need right now reads:

Graphic text  can also be stored in a graphics layer in a map. Unlike layout text, these elements are stored in geographic space. These text elements provide a way to annotate a map without the need for a geodatabase.

Let us know how you did and if I solved your problem. Stay curious!
