I have a workflow for a type of project where a set of maps needs to be created based on different attribute values. This applies to multiple point/polygon layers within the map. For example, create 10 maps of the same extent using the same 3 layers, simply updating definition queries to change which features are displayed.
I'm new to Map Series, and they seem to get me close, however they also seem to change extent/zoom to each feature as the definition query changes. I also don't see that you can apply these definition query updates to multiple layers. Is there a solution for what I'm looking for within map series or another feature within Pro?
Alternatively I can build a script with arcpy.mapping, just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything with the built in functionality. Thanks!

You can't do this in the default functionality, but you can definitely script it. This thematic map series sample script is a similar example (although it turns layers on/off instead of changing the definition query) and may be a helpful starting point https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=eba53351ceb84b58b505dec5272e526c
