Group Layers

Data layers in an ArcGIS Pro Map can be grouped. Once grouped, they can be turned on or off as a group.

  • In the Map Contents choose multiple data layers by holding the Shift key
  • With multiple layers selected, right-click on one of the selected layers and choose Group
    • The data layers should be combined into a single grouped layer
  • Optionally right-click on the New Group Layer to choose Properties
    • In the Layer Properties, choose the General section to change the Name
  • Turning a group layer off will turn off all of the layers in the group
  • Group layers can be expanded or compacted
    • When expanded, the individual layers can still be turned on or off and their symbology can be modified as usual
