There are some cool tools in ArcGIS Pro that will give you the ability to convert bookmarks to animations and create bookmarks at certain points in time.\r\n\r\nBookmarks will save you precious time when you are working on a project. You can create spatial bookmarks at locations on a map and go back to them at any time. For example, if you have a large map and several small study areas on the map, you can save time panning and zooming to those areas by creating a bookmark at each location. Or if you are giving a presentation with ArcGIS Pro (like a demo), bookmarks come in very handy for saving your place and transitioning smoothly between places on the map.\r\n\r\nThe bookmark captures and saves your current view extent. When you create a bookmark in ArcGIS Pro, it is added to a list, given a unique thumbnail and name, and saved with the 2D map or 3D scene you captured it in. A project contains a list of all the bookmarks saved with all open maps in that project.\r\n\r\nUse bookmarks to save your favorite or frequently used map extents. They're stored with a title and thumbnail on the Bookmarks drop-down menu.\r\n\r\nIn ArcGIS Pro, bookmarks can also be temporal. If you have time-enabled data, you can create bookmarks at specific points in time. For example, if you have data that tracks the migration of monarch butterflies across North America, you can create a bookmark showing the butterflies' location midmigration and return to it anytime. Temporal bookmarks display with a clock icon that appears both in the thumbnail and next to the bookmark name in a list view.\r\n\r\n\r\n

Create and use bookmarks<\/h3>\r\nStep 1.<\/strong>\u00a0Pan or zoom to the location or time that you want to bookmark.\r\n\r\nStep 2.<\/strong>\u00a0On the\u00a0Map<\/strong>\u00a0tab, click the\u00a0Bookmarks<\/strong>\u00a0drop-down menu, and click\u00a0New Bookmark<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nStep 3.<\/strong>\u00a0Type a name for your bookmark, then click\u00a0OK<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nStep 4.<\/strong>\u00a0Click the\u00a0Bookmarks<\/strong>\u00a0button to see your new bookmark and other bookmarks you've created in that map or other open maps in the project.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nStep 5.<\/strong>\u00a0Click any of the thumbnails on the Bookmarks menu to go to that location.\r\n

Use the Bookmark Manager<\/h3>\r\nIf you want to modify your bookmarks, open the\u00a0Bookmarks<\/strong>\u00a0pane.
