Hi Bryson, Working with a copied layout as you describe should work. I'm unaware of any outstanding issues that would prevent this workflow from working. I suspect that there may be something particular with your steps or with your project/data. More information is needed to properly diagnose. Can you contact Esri Support? They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support . One possible workaround is to create a pagx file - Save a layout file—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop - and import this file back into the project. Create the pagx file: Import the file you created: Hope this helps. Tom

Tom, I cannot reproduce the issue above - the Contents pane (map view) & Legend are not registering a change to a layer's label. There could be something I'm missing. Could you pass this along to technical support? Thanks, Tom

Tom Colson - thanks for the video and especially for the text commentary. There are a number of things going on here. I'll use the timestamp to organize the issues below. @ 1:30 – “Why are there no legend items when I inserted the legend?” This is expected behavior. Though we may need to review for a better user experience. When you changed the basemap the new basemap gets selected. The layout read this as the selected layer. When layers are selected (in an Active Layout) and you insert a legend only the selected layers are included in the new legend. In this case a basemap layer is selected which does not have any valid legend so the legend is blank. If you had added a feature layer (ex: state boundary) to the map and then added a legend the legend would only show the state boundary – i.e. the selected layer map layer in the Contents pane (Layout view active). We do this to support the use case where you only want to create a legend for specific layers in your map. You do this by selecting layers (in the Active layout view Content pane). Unfortunately, a side effect of this is that when you add a new layer it is the selected layer. Pro Tip: Before adding a legend select the Map Frame it belongs to in the Contents pane, then insert the legend. This should avoid having any layers selected. As the video shows @ 3:05 by switching the source map frame back and forth you can "refresh" the legend. @ 3:19 - Legend goes blank after toggling layer visibility Not able to reproduce. May be related to Bug #1 So far, I have not been able to reproduce this, but I suspect that there is a refresh issue due to the legend getting out of sync with the map. I believe this happens once the order in the Contents pane for legend and map frames change. See Bug #1. @ 5:13 - Move legend after adding a new map frame (different map) and then changing the source map a number of times results in invalid legend items. I CAN reproduce this. BUG #1. This may be related to another BUG where the legend items or the map frame/map items disappear after reordering the Legend or Map Frame in the Contents Pane. We are currently looking into this. @ 6:50 “Turn off one legend item, note how all are removed?” Not able to reproduce. It think that this is likely another manifestation of the previous “reorder” bug above. The element is “out-of sync” with the map. @8:11“Change maps in the map frame, now my extent is gone?” I CAN reproduce this. BUG #2. A re-sourced map frame should zoom to the full custom extent of the new source map. The zoom is not occurring. We will look into this. @10:54 “remove 2 nd frame, turn legend off, then on….legend gone!” I CAN reproduce this. Most likely due to BUG #1. Looks like the legend is getting out of sync when the source map of the additional map frame is being switched back and forth (and at one point includes the map that the legend points to). I believe this issue is another symptom of the core issue that is causing the other legend bugs. A lot going on here. I did not go through every item in this thread. I would encourage anyone reading this that feel they have an issue that is different than the one's Tom has shown in his video and that I have addressed above to take this this issue to technical support. They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. Thanks, Tom

Hi Mattias, ORDER BY is not supported by Dynamic Table Attributes. I'm curious on why you are not using Table Frames - Add and modify table frames—Layouts | ArcGIS Desktop - to display a sorted list of street names. Thanks, Tom

Hi Liedeke, We are currently working on a solution for re-sourcing the table frame. Hopefully it will be available with the 2.4 release sometime in 2019 (probably around the User Conference). I say hopefully, because this is something I cannot guarantee. But we are working on it. It is even possible that we may have a beta version of this new functionality in the 2.4 beta. Is this something you may be interested in? Unfortunately, I cannot think of a workaround that does not include removing the existing table frame and adding a new one. Tom

Hi Tony, I think what might be happening is that the focus of the application is switching from the Layout View to the Contents Pane after you select the text (or any layout item). This means that keyboard strokes will be applied to the Contents Pane instead of to the Layout View. If you manually select items on the Layout View (Layout View has focus) the focus should not switch to the Contents Pane. To see what view or pane has focus pay attention to the blue indicator. In this screenshot the Contents Pane has focus. Any keyboard strokes will apply to the Contents Pane. Here the Layout View has focus. Here the keyboard strokes will apply to the Layout View, or selected item(s). The issue you're reporting appears to be a bug with version 2.3. This issue should be addressed in the next release. To work around this use Shift+Tab or Alt+F7 to bring up a window to bring up open panes and views. Here you can select the layout you were working with. This should force the focus back on the Layout View. Hope this helps, Tom

Hi Liedeke, Currently there is no way to re-source a table frame. There is an enhancement issue for this - ENH-000113209. We are aware that this limits the functionality of table frames and are working towards a solution. Hopefully, this is something we can address in the next year. Thanks for the feedback. Tom

Levi, Thanks for the response. Fortunately, this issue only appear to be affecting your map series project. Unfortunately, we have been unable to reproduce this issue in house. There must be something specific that we (Dev team) are missing in either your workflow or with the particular project. Are you able contact Esri Support? They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. Sorry I could not be of more help. Tom

Hi Levi, So far, we have been unable to reproduce this serious issue. When you report that every data link is broken am I right to assume that in Map View the layers all have broken links? Are you experiencing this data connection problem with only data involved in a map series? Do you see this problem with projects/maps/layers that are not part of a map series? I suspect that the issue is not specific to map series and would like to rule it out if we can. Thanks for your help, Tom

Richard, I'm guessing you have a Map Frame selected in the layout. These options are grayed out because they are not applicable with the current selection - Map Frame. In order to add a title you will need to insert a text element. For a title I would recommend using "Text". This option is based on a point text symbol and allows you to manually resize the element by dragging the selection handles. For more information see Edit text—Layouts | ArcGIS Desktop. Hope this helps, Tom

Hi Marissa, Custom grid support in ArcGIS Pro is something we hope to do in the next year or so. Here is a link to an Idea that covers this very topic - https://community.esri.com/ideas/13763. I encourage you to "vote up" this idea. This helps us gauge the relative importance of an issue and prioritize projects. Thanks, Tom

Michael, Looks like you would import 1 table from excel into a map, insert a table frame into the layout and then format the pieces. You would lose the formatting you had in excel. We do plan on adding table frame template in the future to make this easier, but I don't know when we will get to it. Tom
