How to Duplicate a Layout in ArcGIS Pro?

Published in GIS 1 min read

You can duplicate a layout in ArcGIS Pro to quickly create a new layout based on an existing one, saving you time and effort. Here's how:

  1. Open the layout you want to duplicate.
  2. Right-click on the layout tab in the Contents pane.
  3. Select Duplicate.
  4. Rename the duplicated layout if desired.

This will create a new layout identical to the original, including all elements like maps, graphics, and text. You can then customize the new layout to your needs.

Practical Insights:

  • Duplicating layouts is useful when creating multiple maps with similar layouts, such as for different regions or time periods.
  • You can also copy and paste individual elements from one layout to another.

Example: If you have a layout for a map of the United States, you can duplicate it and then modify the map extent to create a layout for a map of California.
