Joshua, please see https://community.esri.com/ideas/9992‌.  You can up vote that Idea and provide comments if you'd like.  There are also some suggestions in the comments on how to work with the Project design.  You could essentially just have a "scratch" project that you open up to manipulate data and exit.  You don't have to ever save the project if all you're doing is quickly looking at some data, or even changing data.  ...

Reese Hirth‌ Christian "Smitty" Smith‌ Jerry Chase‌ Rachel Sarina‌ Matt Sarty‌ Grant MacLeod‌ Evan Mosher‌ Ulrike Kleeberg‌Craig MacLachlan‌ Moore County‌ Heinz-Georg Pankow‌ We added some questions in an info box in the description, and I wanted to reach out to present the same to those who have already voted for this idea: How do you connect the unit, what type of work are you doing, and what functionality from the current ArcMap GPS toolbar do you use most?  Is there important functionality missing from the existing toolbar that would be beneficial in a Pro GPS "toolbar"? Providing more information will be extremely helpful to us when thinking about what this might look like in ArcGIS Pro. Thank you! ... View more

Thank you for the refreshing opinion, Jason.  I wanted to respond to some of your input here.   I hear you about learning where things are in Pro, and this is something that we hear a lot from other users as they begin to use Pro.  From your positive attitude towards Pro, it sounds like you’ve left this hurdle far behind you, but I wanted to make sure that other users who find this resource are aware of the great ArcGIS Pro quick-start tutorials. There are 15 tutorials and many of them take only 10 or 20 minutes (that’s why they’re quick-start tutorials).  These aren’t meant to teach you GIS; they’re meant to familiarize a user with the new (to them) application.  So for those of us who have a lot of experience using ArcMap, and GIS professionals with many years of experience like yourself, these tutorials are a very effective way to quickly learn how to get around and be productive in ArcGIS Pro.   For those who want to dig deeper, there are 76 ArcGIS Pro tutorials, web courses, videos and seminars on https://www.esri.com/training/ and 11 lessons on http://learn.arcgis.com/en/ .  Or if you prefer books, you could use Getting to Know ArcGIS Pro.  You get the point - there are resources out there to help transition from using ArcMap as your desktop GIS to embracing ArcGIS Pro.   If there are things that you find clunky or ideas and functionality that you want to see in Pro, please check out the ArcGIS Ideas site.  Look to see if somebody has already posted that Idea, vote it up and provide your story in the comments.  If you can’t find it, submit a new idea!   We also hear a lot about the need for more data management functionality in Pro (Catalog).  This is an area that is continually being developed with some notable changes coming in Pro 2.0.  Every version sees new functionality so we continue to encourage you and the entire user community to communicate your challenges and needs so that we can address them.   We can expect to see a release of ArcMap 10.5.1 pretty soon, and then ArcMap 10.6 at the end of the year; however, ArcGIS Pro is the focus for new development efforts as it is the future of the ArcGIS Desktop product.  Customer feedback continues to be a key driver of ArcGIS Pro software development. Therefore, we encourage you to continue commenting and posting your ideas as this helps us to build ArcGIS Pro to meet your needs and requirements.   Thanks again for your comments and we look forward to keeping the conversation going. ...

Devlyn, I understand what you're asking for now.  If the ArcGIS Pro Project has a default Spatial Reference set under Options > Map and Scene > Spatial Reference > Choose spatial reference, any new map or scene created within that project will get that spatial reference by default.  However, when an mxd is imported into the project, there is no check that might potentially warn the user that the mxd's spatial reference (actually the mxd could have multiple data frames, each with a different spatial reference, and each data frame would be imported as a separate Map into the Pro project; so it wouldn't check the mxd's spatial reference as there is no such thing, rather it would have to check all data frames and compare the SR against the Project's default SR) is different than the Project's default. I think that I'm on track with you now.  Could you please update the title and description of the Idea to more accurately reflect the request?  This is not about doing a transformation check when importing an mxd into a Pro project.  You can refine the wording, but it would be something like "When importing an mxd to a Pro project, provide a warning if mxd data frame spatial reference is different from the Project default spatial reference" Hope that helps, and thank you for the clarification!

ecl_robson_d‌ Please let me know if my explanation above helped.  I don't think that this is an Idea that can be implemented due to what I explained above.  If I'm misunderstanding the request, please clarify so that the idea can be considered.  Otherwise, we will mark it as Not in Current Product Plan. ...

Tony, Note that https://community.esri.com/ideas/11923‌ is in the product plan for Pro.  We'll hopefully see that this year. ... View more

jlivesey‌ Thank you for submitting the idea.  Can you provide some more detail (maybe include a screenshot) about where you want to be able to sort the domain values and some context for how this will help your work?  Some more details will help us understand the use case.  Thank you! ...

Have you opened a case with technical support re: Pro crashing when importing your MXD?  I think that would be a good step.  Let me know if that isn't possible and we can work offline to see about getting your MXD to test. ... View more

MPCGroup_Admin  What version of ArcMap are you using?  The screenshot looks like the search is being done for 10.5, but when I search, even using the installed help, I don't find that warning (001922) in the 10.5 help.   For ArcMap, I'd suggest searching for errors and warnings using the installed Help: You'll see something like this: Online help searchability for errors and warnings has been improved for ArcGIS Pro: ...

ecl_robson_d‌ The CRS is not relevant at the Project level per se.  You're correct that you can set in the Project Options a default CRS for a project, but that takes place in any new Map or Scene added to the Project.  So, it is in the Map or Scene that the transformation check is done.  If I have a Map in my Project that has GCS NAD 1983 set as the CRS, and I add data that has a CRS of WGS 1984, I should get a warning if I've checked the warning option that you and George_Thompson-esristaff‌ mention.  However, just because the default for my Project may be GCS NAD 1983, doesn't mean that I can't add a new Map altogether that has a CRS of CA State Plane Zone V... So when an MXD is imported with a coordinate system that is different from the Project's default, that is fine.  There is no conflict between different Maps in the Project (remember that different Maps in a Project are like different data frames in ArcMap, and one very good use for them is exactly so that you can have different coordinate systems in the same map in ArcMap, and in the same Project in ArcGIS Pro).  The fact that you've checked to get a warning when transformations are necessary will still apply if you try to add data with a different datum to the map you've imported.   Please let me know if this explanation helps.  ...
