Failed to open map view - ArcGIS Pro

[MatAzzopardi]

I have quite a few different ArcGIS Pro project files that contain different sets of data, maps and layouts.

On opening certain project files, I then receive the "Failed to open map view" message and it deletes the map from the project.

Any idea why this happens?

It also occurs to my colleague on certain project files, but then those work for me.

Hi Mat,

How old are these project files and what version of ArcGIS Pro do you have?

Hi Marisa

I think the project files which have caused the problem were originally made in 2.2 or perhaps 2.3.

I have recently upgraded to 2.4, I'm assuming that it shouldn't be a problem opening a project made in previous versions to a newer version?

Thanks for confirming that Kory.

So, I guess that doesn't explain why within one project that maps have failed to work now, when they worked a few months ago.

As well as happening to other colleagues of mine.

Any advice?

Yep, I have the exact same problem.  The layouts open fine still but the map won't open 'Failed to open map view' message pops up and then the map is deleted from the aprx (although still shows in the catalogue pane)
