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:
- Open the layout you want to duplicate.
- Right-click on the layout tab in the Contents pane.
- Select Duplicate.
- 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.
