Today we’ll take on annotation. You can follow along with Darwin.ppkx<\/a> (using “Labelled Map”). If you didn’t do the labeling tutorial first, that’s okay; you can start here if you want.<\/p>\n This tutorial was tested and updated on October 3, 2022 with\u00a0ArcGIS Pro 3.0<\/span>.<\/i><\/p>\n What is annotation<\/a>? It’s basically labels that you have full control over. They act like features\u2014because they are features! They’re stored in an annotation feature class. They even have attribute tables.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":656532,"id":656532,"title":"anno","filename":"anno.png","filesize":4989,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/anno.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/pro-map-text-ii-annotation\/anno","alt":"Layer
