Can you provide more details? What version of ArcGIS Pro? What does your project look like (what does it include in terms of layers)? Are all the appropriate fields filled in for the Package itself (like summary, tags, etc.)?

Hi, unfortunately there is not a lot of straight-forward compatibility between KML/KMZ layers and Esri's geodatabase feature classes. Your best bet, albeit a slow one, is to break the KML up into separate KMLs and then import those one at a time into ArcGIS Pro in order to publish them online. Another possible option is to just import the big KML into ArcGIS Pro, and then break it up in Pro into separate feature classes to make it mimic the KML look. They don't even have to be separate feature classes - they can be copies of the same KML-feature class that have definition queries applied to them.

This may be unrelated but my computer did an automatic update (Dell BIOS settings) and it made my aprx files hang when I tried to open them. I had to go back and reinstall the drivers needed for Pro 3.0, especially the Access Database Driver since I had Excel files in my aprx projects. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/excel/prepare-to-work-with-excel-in-arcgis-pro.htm#LI_6C0EF8ACE83C4599AFC35141822488C4 Maybe reinstalling some drivers could help?

I would think for installing any kind of software that you need admin rights and this is the same for Pro. Each update runs an executable file that needs admin rights.

Using Arcade, you can just throw Collection in front with quotes and a plus sign, like this: Arcade text: "Collection " + $feature.RiverName This documentation also has tips on how to do this: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.8/help/mapping/text/specify-text-for-labels.htm#GUID-47151603-A0B0-410E-90E6-D50F814888F1

I don't think you can! I can get to the Legend presets by going to Catalog View Pane, Styles, ArcGIS 2D, and then Legend: But in there, I am not allowed to delete the legend items: Delete is not active.

@KoryKramer , I did these updates (particularly the Excel driver) and things worked. However, my Dell laptop did some huge BIOS update and then my Pro projects with an excel file started hanging again. I had to reinstall the Access Database Engine Driver and things started working again. I have no idea what my Dell BIOS update did, but it apparently removed that driver update. Anyways, just a little note for people who go through a Dell BIOS settings update, you may have to reinstall that driver!

When you spatial join two layers together, you get added attributes to your new table. At the front of the table you will see a join count and other joining variables. At the end of the table (scroll all the way past the original attributes), you should see your new attributes of the new fields that just got joined. As of ArcGIS Pro 3.0, these spatial joins now behave like regular joins where they are not permanent until you export them. Do you see all the rest of your join fields at the end of your table?

Hi Nate, I would imagine that if your invasive species point sits on top of a management unit polygon, then Spatial Join should bring across that attribute of which polygon unit it is in. Is that not happening? Then you should be able to label from that management unit polygon attribute.

Hi, I am trying to 'trick' my labels into line features. I have labels on my map that I want to be completely converted into lines, where each letter is its own line feature. Does that make sense? I have tried going from labels to annotation to Feature To Line; going from labels to graphics to Graphics to Features, and so on. These methods aren't working. I don't want to completely retrace each letter in each label into it's own line feature. Is there not a magic button to do this? You may ask why... Well, one thing is, I want to display line labels from a KMZ into a Google Earth map. This is my way of attempting to trick it. I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.0. Thanks!

What happens when you click on the Analyze button at the bottom? Does it list what errors are preventing the publishing? Can you post a screenshot of your Share As Web Layer dialog?

‎03-02-2022

Simon, Have you tried other browsers? Incognito browsers? And clearing your browser cache? Just trying to rule out all other issues!

I find that if I just copy and paste a raster from the table of contents in one Pro instance to another opened Pro instance, all my symbology comes with it (this is not adding data, just copying and pasting). Perhaps a more solid way of doing this is by making a layer package from the raster and sharing it that way: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/sharing/overview/layer-package.htm

‎02-04-2022

There are many factors that could cause a long delay in a geoprocessing task. Is the raster excessively large? What is the file format of the raster? When is the last time you closed all your Pro instances and re-opened them? And sometimes a computer needing a restart could cause delays too.

Adding to Robert's comment, after making the TIFF from the PDF, you could then georeference the image onto your map to make digitzing easier. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/imagery/georeferencing-tools.htm
