what happens when you accidentally close a map or layout window in your project?

[GabrielYarlequé]

Hi,

so I am using ArcGIS Pro and I accidentally closed one of the map windows in my project (see picture). So are the maps, layout, scenes that you have open in your project saved somewhere or are they only saved within a single project in your C or D drive? I tried to browse back to see if those were saved somewhere else but I couldnt find them. What would you do in that case? or you just have to insert a new map, add the layers and continue with your work.

thanks

Hi Gabriel,

The maps and scenes will be saved under 'Maps' within your Project pane.  See below:

How to find this "Project Pane"?

[TimOrmsby]

Hi Dianne,

The name of the Project pane was changed to Catalog pane. (That should make it easier to find.) If it's not open in your project, you can open it by clicking the View tab on the ribbon and clicking the Catalog Pane button.

Got it.  Thanks!
