Yet, many aspects of professional map design taken for granted on the paper medium are still missing in most web-based designs. One such feature is: t<em>he ability of mapmakers to control the geography of a map.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Great news! ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 now offers you maximum control over your map extents.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to learn how to communicate more clearly using three ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lock Map Extent<\/li>\n<li>Set Home Extent<\/li>\n<li>Bookmarks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The walkthroughs below illustrate using using these apps in ArcGIS for MS Excel and MS SharePoint specifically. However, the lock extent features can also be found in ArcGIS for Power BI \u2013 please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/microsoft-365\/latest\/power-bi\/format-map-properties.htm\">ArcGIS for Power BI documentation<\/a>\u00a0for details.<\/p>\n<p>You are managing a nationwide project where stakeholders need to view data in context, such as across the entire contiguous United States. There\u2019s absolutely no need for zooming in on points of interest as understanding the pattern of how the data is distributed across the United States is important. Everything necessary to interpret the map is visible when the map opens.<\/p>\n<p>ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 now allows you to lock your map at this viewpoint, to prevent users from exploring irrelevant areas. In other words, you can now design your map like a single-scale paper map: no zooming, no panning.<\/p>\n<p>Follow these steps in ArcGIS for Excel (or similar in ArcGIS for SharePoint) after loading a map to start using the feature:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Pan and zoom to the area of focus<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You should set up your geographic extent just right. In most circumstances, this means having your mapped features take up as much screen real estate as possible. Obviously, make sure your data fits in the window, because once you lock the geographic area users will not be able to pan or zoom.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.
