ArcGIS Pro Essential Workflows Course Resources

[#1]

This three-day course is about GIS workflows; i.e. best practices for using GIS tools and techniques to complete your GIS tasks.  Students will learn the essential workflows for creating, managing, visualizing, editing, analyzing, and sharing GIS data and maps using ArcGIS Pro.  The resources below are organized in two sections.  The first section introduces ArcGIS Pro, its capabilities, and its functionality.  The second section contains a lesson-by-lesson breakdown of class resources, focusing on topics such as: navigating the ArcGIS Pro interface, data management/organization, coordinate systems, layer properties in ArcGIS Pro (symbology, labeling, visualization), working with tables, displaying 3D GIS data in Pro, editing and analysis of GIS data, creation of print and web maps, and various strategies for sharing GIS data, maps, and other content with ArcGIS Pro.
