Think of favorites as a way to earmark your most useful or most used items for easy access.\r\n\r\nMy Favorites is your favorite collection of content.

To remove an item, go to My Favorites and click the star icon to remove it. You can also add favorite items you find via the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World website. Just click the star icon on the item to add it to My Favorites.\r\n\r\n<span class=\"s3\"> You can use content in My Favorites to streamline your workflow when authoring maps.
