Contents Pane is blank - Solved

[dennisc1]

Hi I've been using a map with several layers and the contents pane is now suddenly blank so that I'm unable to access any layers in the map. I've tried making a duplicate .aprx file and deleting the ESRI folder in AppData\Local and AppData\Roaming but nothing seems to work. 

edit: I figured it out. I had to open layers under Maps from the catalog pane but now I dont know how to delete this post.

Glad you couldn't delete this since I just did the same thing!

Same here!!

Same!!! Glad you didn't delete it, thanks!

Thanks! To clarify, I needed to drag in/add a random featureclass from the catalog to the map to get the blank contents to refresh. Then delete said random featureclass.

Same, except that for me it happens randomly and the fix is also random: sometimes simply refreshing the map, sometimes, dragging in a random feature class (such as @DaveSivertsenz ), or reopening the project a couple times. 

@Esri, bug?

Thanks for the additional post. Refreshing the map worked for me on v 3.4.2.
