How to finish creating an animation without removing it from project?

Question

Hello, how can I stop creating an animation in a project without removing it? I don't want to delete and then recreate the animation again when I need to edit it. I know it's possible to save the animation settings somewhere on the computer, but it doesn't feel very convenient. When I'm working on a layout, I don't have to delete it to stop working on it either – it's simply saved in the geodatabase, and I can edit it anytime.

Hi qdras,

All your animations (one or more) are saved with the map/scene, and you can choose to have "none active" to get back to a "doing other regular work" state for the app.

Choose "None" from the list on the Animation ribbon.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
