<\/p>\nWhen you add\u00a0data,\u00a0create notes, find places, add views,\u00a0etc., you create items which appear in your contents. You can organize these any way that you like. By default, items are added to the top of\u00a0the contents window, but you\u00a0can drag them to\u00a0a different location. You can also organize items into folders by theme or activity. Here we\u2019ve added a wide variety of items and organized them into folders and sub-folders by theme.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The order of\u00a0items in your contents is not\u00a0always the same as the drawing order.\u00a0While this may\u00a0seem\u00a0puzzling at first, it enables you to organize\u00a0your items in ways that make sense. This organization\u00a0may\u00a0be quite different than the order in which you want the items\u00a0to draw.<\/p>\n
To change the drawing order of items, open the\u00a0Manage Layers dialog which you will find on the Home tab in the Map group.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Using Manage Layers you can control the drawing order of your items by highlighting them and clicking Move Up or Move Down. You can also\u00a0remove\u00a0items or clear their local cache.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
You can also change the drawing order for certain kinds of layers by clicking the Tools tab and choosing the drawing order option (like bring to front or send to back),\u00a0or clicking the box in the lower right to open Manage Layers. Here we\u2019ve clicked on an ArcGIS Layer in our contents, and clicked the tools tab to show the draw order controls.<\/p>\n
