Is there any way to edit world terrain reference layer & open street map layer labels to remove duplicates? Ex. A lake name pops up twice. If I de select the world terrain reference layer I get rid of the duplicates but I also lose some geographical feature labels the open street map layer does not have...Any suggestions to either get rid of the duplicate labeling over a lake lets say. Or a different layer that resembles the open street map layer but has more labels over features? (mountains, capes, etc.)

You can use the Esri ArcGIS Vector Tile Style Editor. John Nelson has a YouTube video on how to use it. Sometimes I just find it easier to add a graphics layer and make my own labels unless there are a ton of them.

Ever look at a basemap and wish you could just isolate a layer or two from it for some other map? You don't need all the basemap content, just a bit of it. Here's how to use the Vector Tile Style Editor for Esri's ArcGIS Online to identify just the pieces you want, and save it as an alternate view
