Whether you have a web browser full of bookmarked web pages, or you\u2019re like me and you think you can remember the random keywords you searched to find that obscure land use data from 1865 (surprise, I never can), you know how useful bookmarks can be.<\/p>\n

Bookmarks in ArcGIS Pro are just as helpful. You can create spatial bookmarks at locations on a map and come 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 at the Esri User Conference<\/a>*), bookmarks come in very handy for saving your place and transitioning smoothly between places on the map.<\/p>\n

The bookmark captures and saves your current view extent. When you create a bookmark, it is added to a list with a unique thumbnail and name and is saved with the 2D map or 3D scene you captured it in. A project contains a list of all of the bookmarks saved with all open maps in that project.<\/p>\n

\"Access<\/a>
Use bookmarks to save your favorite or frequently-used map extents. They’re stored with a title and thumbnail in the Bookmarks drop-down menu.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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\u2019 location mid-migration and return to it anytime. Temporal bookmarks display with a clock icon in the thumbnail and next to the bookmark name in a list view.<\/p>\n
