It has great default settings, and the \u201cmost frequently used\u201d tools and functionality at your fingertips. However, we know that every ArcGIS Pro user is different. As much as we try to predict exactly what you\u2019ll need, the defaults might not be quite right for you.<\/p>\n<p>There are a million ways to customize ArcGIS Pro (especially with <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Esri\/arcgis-pro-sdk\">the ArcGIS Pro SDK<\/a>), but if you\u2019re not a developer, here are a few of the quickest ways to get the application set up just the way you want it.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #339966\">Rearrange windows and panes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Moving, floating, and adjusting the size of windows and panes is the easiest way to customize the UI.<\/p>\n<p>As you work with different maps, views, and panes, you\u2019ll open and close panes that you need for specific tasks. You can reposition or minimize them to make room for maps and other views. Grab the title bar of any view or pane to drag it to a target or let it float.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/11\/draganddroppane2.gif\" alt=\"Drag and drop panes\" width=\"1227\" height=\"810\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A couple of the most common panes you\u2019ll have open are the Catalog and the Contents pane. If you accidentally close these, you can reopen them from the <strong>View<\/strong> tab on the ribbon. You can also show or hide panes with the <strong>Auto-Hide <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/11\/pin_it.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-90264 noIMGBackground\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/11\/pin_it-300x35.png\" alt=\"Auto-hide a pane\" width=\"300\" height=\"35\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To save more space, you can stack panes on top of one another, and then switch between them by clicking the pane tab at the bottom of the stacked panes. To separate a pane from the stack, just grab the pane name at the bottom, drag it, and drop it where you want it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/11\/bottomtabs.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-90258 noIMGBackground\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/11\/bottomtabs-246x300.png\" alt=\"Switch tabs from the bottom\" width=\"246\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #339966\">Add tools to the Quick Access Toolbar<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This tip is handy if you only use a few tools very frequently.
