I am really struggling with the transition from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro (yes, I should not have waited until the last minute to make the switch! ). I'm looking for a relatively short course that will help me learn to use ArcGIS Pro, preferably a video or series of videos, and hopefully no more than a few hours total. I really only need to know the basics - how to create a map, shapefiles, polygons, text, etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've searched through the videos but there are so many, and I don't know where to start.

Thank you in advance!

@JoanRay , If you already know ArcMap, trust me, it'll be very easy to switch to ArcGIS Pro. I would suggest instead of going though all videos in one go, you start with smaller and simpler tasks.

1- In ArcGIS Pro, we create "ArcGIS Pro Project". this project holds multiple maps, layouts, toolboxes, etc. So, start with creating a project: Projects in ArcGIS Pro—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

2- Explore the UI of ArcGIS Pro: ArcGIS Pro user interface—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation.

3- Check out this video: https://youtu.be/8BNxax0HyjA?si=LV24tmw_Q_VVKayD.

This video covers creation of feature classes, editing features, etc.

It covers basics of ArcGIS Pro. You can skip the sections if they are not of your interest.

4. For quick tutorials for any topic, you can refer to: ArcGIS Pro quick-start tutorials—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

 

If you want to know anything specific: 'how to do', 'what to do', everything is available in ArcGIS Pro documents.

If you face any challenge with anything in particular, feel free to reach out.

@JoanRay Adding to what Geetesh said, the quick-start tutorials (point 4) all have companion videos - usually around 10 minutes. You can access them individually from the tutorial help pages, but there's also a youtube playlist of all of them. 

Take a look at the Common skills for working with data in ArcGIS Pro tutorial series on the Esri tutorials site.

In addition to the UI reference page Geetesh mentioned (point 2), the Introduction to ArcGIS Pro help page is a good annotated overview of the UI with explanations of some basic Pro elements like views and panes.
